This collection contains details of the life of General Robert J. Gill from 1886 to 1991. This collection is arranged into six series based on material format and further arranged chronologically as possible. The six main series include: paper manuscripts, photographs, scrapbooks, artifacts, books, and digital records. Paper manuscripts, series one, is broken into sub-series that include military records, Gill’s biographical information along with Keith Richwine’s research on Gill, newspapers and magazines, financial papers, Baltimore Orioles, Western Maryland College, and miscellaneous. Other series within this collection include Gill’s collection of photographs, scrapbooks, a photo album, artifacts, digital records, and books. The photograph collection displays General Gill’s hobbies, family and friends, time at the school, and military/professional career. The scrapbook pages highlight General Gill’s travels, contributions at the Nuremberg Trials, and college life at WMC. The artifacts include General Gill’s Army hats, uniform decorations from his service, his military uniform, jewelry, and philatelic awards. There is a digital repository including a floppy disc, and CDs with scans of some of the documents in Gill’s Papers. The books we have are those confirmed to be Gill’s or presumed to belong to him spanning topics from a 1910 yearbook from WMC to volumes on the International Military Tribunal: Nuremburg 1948. A record of the books believed to belong to Gill is available for review.
