The collection mainly documents John Logie's time as mayor of the City of Grand Rapids. It contains scrapbooks and clippings the mayor kept during his tenure, as well as some clippings from pre-mayoral and post-mayoral days. Included with the collection are a number of photographs depicting galas, events, and election parties, as well as a few historic photographs of family members.

It is worth looking through the scrapbooks for important city events (like the opening of DeVos Place, or the Van Andel Institute), as there might be clippings or promotional materials in scrapbooks or folders.
