In the finding aid, the titles of subseries appear in bold. Folders and items belonging to the subseries are listed below the title. The navigational bar on the left allows users to jump to different subseries without having to scroll through every drawer, folder, box, and item. Please note that the family correspondence contains multiple subseries, so some upward scrolling may be necessary in order to find the folder or subseries of an item.

For example:

Series (Correspondence)
Subseries (Family Correspondence
Subseries (Immediate Family Correspondence, 1828-1872)
Subseries (William Henry Seward to Frances Adeline (Miller) Seward)
Folder (Folder 1: 1831)
Item (January 2, 1831)

In series containing boxes, both subseries and box titles are in larger bold font. Most boxes are described at the item level, except for the Financial and Legal Papers series, which is described at the folder level. While it is possible to have multiple subseries within the boxes, this is less common than it is in the file drawers.

The boxed materials in the collection are arranged using the following hierarchy:

Series
Subseries
Box
Folder
Item

For example:

Series (Public Papers)
Subseries (Senatorial and State Department Papers)
Box (Box 78: Senatorial Papers, 1830-1860, undated)
Folder (Folder 6: Testimony regarding John Brown, 1860)
Item (Testimony of William Henry Seward, May 2, 1860)

Some boxes, folders, or items contain notes that provide additional information about the material being described. Below are frequently used archival descriptive notes with their definitions.

Scope and Contents: A statement summarizing the range and topics covered within the described materials. This includes the names of significant organizations, individuals, events, places, and subjects represented.

Arrangement: Provides information on the physical or logical ordering of materials.

Extent: Provides information about the quantity of materials being described. This note is most commonly used in this finding aid to provide the number of pages in an item.

Location of Originals: Provides information about the owner of the original item when the item in the collection is a copy.

Alternative Format Available: Identifies when the item is available in a format other than its original. Much of this collection has been microfilmed, so this note directs researchers to the corresponding microfilm reel when appropriate.

Separated Material: Describes materials that have been physically separated from the rest of the collection. These items are usually housed with another collection in the department.

Related Material: Describes materials that are not part of the Seward papers, but may be of interest to researchers because they cover similar topics, dates, or people.
