625 cuneiform tablets dating from circa 3100-539 BCE, four cylinder seals, with modern impressions of them, and fourteen clay and stone objects, nine of which are labelled A through I. Provenance of these items is mostly unclear.
The tablets are most thoroughly described at the CDLI (at least those tablets for which descriptive information existed), and images of most of the tablets can be found there. This finding aid identifies each tablet by its Columbia University Libraries Cuneiform number (e.g. CULC 001); its identifier at CDLI, and by the references to the more complete published catalogs of the collection (Garfinkle, Freedman, and Mendelsohn; for citations see the section Other Finding Aids.
