The collections contains Harvey's personal and professional diaries (1964 to 1967, 1969 to 2012) as well as a drawing that he had made for the Coconut Grove Playhouse production of "Orpheus Descending."

The collection consists of several sub-divisions, such as bookplates with a printed date (over 300 bookplates, 1587-1800), ecclesiastical bookplates of the 17th and 18th centuries, and a large group relating to Cambridge and Oxford Universities (mostly 18th century).
