The Guy Garman papers consist of mayoral papers and personal papers (mainly photographs).

The mayor papers include correspondence, legal documents, notes, and other materials primarily relating to the strained budget and finances of Hudson that Garman inherited when he took office in 1936. The papers primarily focus on the issues of the village's large bonded indebtedness and a claim for money owed on an overpayment of the Ellsworth estate inheritance tax. The papers also include some reports and correspondence discussing various affairs of Hudson and two unidentified photographs, most likely of a sewer plant.

Garman's personal papers consist primarily of photographs of his family, which include photos of himself, his wife Nellie, his daughter Vida and her husband Glenn Bechtle, his son Roe and his wife Bessie, as well as a few photographs of extended family including Guy's father. Modern photographs (probably taken in 2012) of the Lindley-Brewster home (19 Owen Brown St.), the home that Guy Garman resided in while living in Hudson, are also included.

The collection also includes a small marriage record book of Vida and Glenn's wedding.
