The Clenece Hills collection provides an overview of an active Lawrence, Kansas community member, as well as information about the life of a teacher in the late 20th century. Materials include but are not limited to In-Service notes, Results Based Staff Development materials, District Improvement Team information, observations and evaluations of Hills' teaching, some lesson plans, and other related materials.

There are also yearbooks, event flyers and programs, newsletters, and other materials from the various community organizations with which Hills was involved. Of note is documentation from Hills' two terms on the Douglas County Historical Society board of directors in the early 1990s and mid-2000s, her involvement in Trinity Episcopal Church, and her political campaigning at the local and state level. The collection also includes personal and professional correspondence, newspaper clippings, greeting cards, and other materials related to Hills' interests.

Included in the collection is material related to the Friends of Haskell and the Haskell Indian Nations University, as well as to a controversy surrounding the publication of the student newspaper in the late 1980s when Jim Hills had taken over as the faculty adviser. There is also some family genealogical information for Clenece's Roberts, Lipps, Gilchrist, and McClymonds ancestors and relatives.

The collection also contains the papers of Mildred Seaman (1903-1974), who was a lobbyist for the University of Kansas and the program director of Kansas Public Radio station KANU at KU. These papers contain a letter in French dated April 27, 1926, certifying Seaman's work; a certificate from The Summer Radio Institute at Northwestern University; and the program and a newspaper clipping from Seaman's 1927 senior piano recital.
