The collection documents the academic career of LeRoy as a student at the University of Michigan and his two trips to the Philippines in 1901 and 1905. The materials have been groups into four series: Biographical/Personal, Philippine Islands, Durango, Mexico, and Scrapbooks.
The Philippine Islands series is notable for LeRoy's extended journal account of his activities and observations while traveling in the Philippines in 1900-1901 and 1905. LeRoy was a keen and perceptive observer and his skill as a writer manifests itself in these journal/travelogues.
