Newspaper clippings from papers throughout the United States documenting the public commemoration of Albert Woolson's 95th through 109th birthdays constitute the bulk of the collection. Other clippings cover the last gatherings of the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) and Albert Woolson's death in 1956.

The photographic series largely depicts Woolson in the later years of his life; a few photos depict Woolson as a young man, Woolson's family, and other elderly Civil War veterans.

Includes a scrapbook containing newspaper clippings, photographs, and ribbons worn at Civil War related conventions, documentation of Woolson's professional certifications, and a brief memoir.
