The Jerome Hill Papers are available to the public for research. A detailed finding aid is located here: http://www.mnhs.org/library/findaids/00565.xml. The papers are divided into four series: Correspondence, Music, Oral Histories, and Photographs.

• Correspondence: The bulk of the material consists of letters from others to Hill; however, some folders, especially those of his family members, have extensive collections of letters from Jerome Hill.
  
• Music: The bulk of this material is undated sheet music. Much of it shows draft versions and has hand corrections by Hill.
  
• Oral Histories: The majority of the Oral History interviews were conducted under the auspices of the Jerome Foundation during 1984-1986. These interviews were conducted by Gretchen Kreuter and Irving Clark.
  
• Photographs: Divided into two main sections: Collected, which consists of albums that Hill and others organized; and Uncollected, which are photographs that Hill kept in folders loosely organized by time period, subject or format.
