The collection consists of personal papers of Dorothy Elizabeth ("Libby") Walker and papers of the Samuel Oviatt (1741-1818) branch of the Oviatt family. Libby Walker maintained the papers of her family and therefore the collection has been preserved as one larger collection encompassing her personal materials and the Oviatt family.

The Libby Walker materials include some biographical materials (various newspaper articles about Libby) and photographs of Libby. Her papers also include an application and notes for the Hudson First Families organization to establish that she is a descendant of the original pioneer families of Hudson. Also included are several folders of materials for the Hudson Heritage Association application for a historic marker to 33 Division Street. Blueprints, notes, and a draft of the application are included. Libby's papers also include a set of index cards with notes about Arthur Waite, a former mayor of Hudson. The index cards were used possibly for some kind of research project about Waite.

The Oviatt family materials encompass a wide variety of materials and include materials of several generations of the Oviatt family, including Libby's parents (Lida Oviatt and Vernon Walker), her grandparents (William H. Oviatt and May Leach), her great-grandparents (Miles Oviatt and Charity Norton) and a few materials of her great-great grandparents (Homer Oviatt and Charlotte Darrow). Eunice Oviatt, a great-great-great grandmother appears on a deed.

The collection includes several autograph books, one belonging to May Leach and another attributed to "Emma," an unknown niece of Charity Oviatt. Charity Oviatt's diary of 1865 is also part of the collection, which includes almost-daily brief observations of her life and experiences in Hudson. A bulk of the collection consists of various deeds and other real estate documents of the Oviatt family. Vital documents include a birth certificate for Libby Walker, a marriage license for Miles Oviatt and Charity Norton (dated 1864) and a marriage license for Sherman Leach and Clara Brennan. Postcards written primarily to May Oviatt (from S.H. Leach) are also included. Other materials include death and burial information for Miles Oviatt, miscellaneous receipts and promissory notes, property tax receipts, a handwritten recipe book, and Valentine's cards. The collection also includes a set of five historic photographs, including group photographs of the a Macedonia baseball team, the Hudson Band, and a group of men in front of a railroad engine. Another group of working men and a family group (possibly identified as W.H. Oviatt and family) is also included.
