Collection contains family correspondence, diaries, business papers, financial records, estate papers, scrapbooks, and photographs. Of special interest is a diary in which Loring describes conversations he had with Ralph Waldo Emerson on philosophic and religious issues; material concerning a trust which was established by friends of William Lloyd Garrison, editor of the antislavery newspaper, the Liberator, to help Garrison and his family financially while retaining some control over the way in which the money was spent; and letters in which Elizabeth Palmer Peabody discusses the possible establishment during the 1850s and 1860s of a Boston academy.
