The Livermore family papers consist of correspondence and legal documents, with a few items of personal papers in some series. The correspondence consists of letters written to and by various members of the family from the period of time spanning 1807-1935. There are two areas of correspondence of particular note. The first is series 1001.1, which includes letters written by Arthur Livermore (1766-1853) to his wife, Louisa Bliss Livermore (1791-1871), several of which were written from Washington, D.C., during his time as United States Congressman.
