Topics include Hayden's position as secretary of the National Geographic Society (1895-1897), his work in charge of time service and chronometers at the United States Naval Observatory (1902-1910), his command of the U.S. Naval Station at Key West, Fla. (1910-1915), his various inventions and patents, and his scientific research in hydrography, meteorology primarily relating to hurricanes, and timekeeping.

Also includes the papers of Edward Hayden's grandfather, William Hayden, postmaster of Boston (Mass.), whose correspondents include Jacob Collamer, John Davis, and Daniel Webster; and of Edward Hayden's father-in-law, Joseph Jones Reynolds, relating especially to his command of military districts in Louisiana and Texas during the Reconstruction.
