The collection is divided into 50 series. Some series are titled by geographic area, some by the names of prominent frontier leaders, and some by topic. The bulk of the collection consists of notes from interviews, questionnaires, and letters gathered during Draper’s extensive travels and research to learn about frontier history. Personal papers are much more rare than government or military records. | *''[http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/dictionary/index.asp?Submit=Search&action=search&keyword=Libraries Draper Manuscript Collection]''<ref> Draper, Lyman Copeland.
