Deville Chabrol family papers are primarily correspondence and personal materials related to brothers Jules Deville Chabrol and Paul Henri Deville Chabrol, father of Marguerite Storrs. Jules Deville Chabrol was a member of the French Colonial Forces stationed in Algeria, where he remained after colonization. He wrote extensively to his parents and younger brother Paul Henri from Algeria, and also wrote memoirs of his time there. Paul Henri Deville Chabrol's materials include account books, business correspondence, and documents and letters home regarding his military service during the Franco-Prussian War.

Storrs family papers consist primarily of correspondence to and from D.W. Storrs, father of John Storrs. Much of the correspondence is from family and friends while D.W. Storrs was high school age and attending seminary school in Illinois. There are also a few items related to his Chicago real estate business, and other family correspondence. There is a small amount of material related to John Storrs, including a few letters, notes and doodles, exhibit catalogs, and the manuscript of a Russian general's autobiography, which John Storrs evidently encouraged the general to write while they were both prisoners of the Nazis in 1944.
