The collection consists of journals, financial documents, account books, correspondence, photographs and maps that document the professional and personal life of George W. Conover. The bulk of the material dates from the turn of the twentieth century, a time when Oklahoma was transitioning to statehood and the town of Andarko was founded. Conover's interactions with Caddo, Wichita, Delaware, Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Indians are documented in his financial records and journals. The collection also documents the distribution of land when the town of Andarko was founded in 1901. Conover's journals record daily personal and business activity and reflections on the death of his first wife Tomasa. Three printed maps (in broadside storage) depict Indian Territory, the Kiowa, Comanche and Apache Reservation, and the Wichita Reservation
