The documents in this collection span a vast time period, but are primarily centered on two areas: the Civil War and the Huebner Brewery of Toledo, Ohio. The Huebner Brewery was run by Alice's family and the Civil War photographs and uniform can be traced to her direct relatives.
Within the Civil War items are artifacts including pieces of a Civil War soldier's uniform, as well as various photographs.
The items relating to the Huebner Brewery consist of news clippings about the Brewery, postcards, and a recipe for beer.
