The items that were donated, mainly in the form of correspondence, are included here.

Other materials contained in this subseries are writings by McGill, writings about McGill, information about awards and tributes, subject files, information about the Ralph McGill exhibit in the Rose Library, and Sandburg materials: Connemara. Most of this material is in the form of printed material and clippings.
