The Hill Family Collection is divided into three sections pertaining to Charles Edward Hill, John Boynton Philip Clayton Hill, and Bancroft Hill. Material in each section is arranged chronologically.

The papers (1880-1920) of Charles Edward Hill consist of incoming correspondence related to his law practice. Subjects chiefly concern contracts and lease agreements.

John Boynton Philip Clayton Hill's campaign for election as Congressman from the Third Congressional District (November, 1922) is well represented by letters, telegrams, receipted bills, and financial reports. Located in the Prints and Photographs Division is a campaign button advocating William Cable Bruce for Senator.

Bancroft Hill's successful career as Baltimore's harbor engineer is reflected in a scrapbook (1 volume) which contains newspaper clippings related to harbor development, transportation, harbor pollution and construction of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The scrapbook articles encompass a span of nineteen years, 1919-1938. In addition to the scrapbook are three bound volumes of survey reports and one bound volume concerning the plan of harbor development. The four reports were each prepared by the Harbor Board of Baltimore and Bancroft Hill. Survey reports, volumes 1 through 3, were all prepared on November 15, 1920. The volume, Plan of Harbor Development, was prepared on October 1, 1921.
