The Robert “Bob” B. David Collection consists of 50 dismantled scrapbooks that cover a wide range of topics about Wyoming and the American West from prehistoric times to the mid-twentieth century. Several scrapbooks were dedicated to David’s investigation and research of the 1897 “Hole-in-the-Wall Fight” and the Johnson County War, which include interviews with the prominent and local individuals involved. Early scrapbooks feature David’s research about the Dinwoody and Castle Garden areas of Wyoming.

The collection also contains Robert David's extensive personal diaries, letters and correspondence, memoirs, and “excerpts.” Some diaries and correspondence belonged to Robert David’s immediate family members, particularly his father Edward Taft David. The collection contains 12 boxes of photographs and snapshots from throughout the collection and several pieces of furniture provided by the David family.
