The collection consists of scientific, engineering, and administrative reports; photographs from trips to Africa; and personal papers related to Frederick Roeser. The reports, from various ASARCO plants, which span the period 1911-1919, discuss technical procedures for reducing different metals, ASARCO efforts to improve the efficiency of metallurgical processes, design and construction of metallurgical plants, and wages and productivity at ASARCO plants. There are also notebooks in the collection which contain information about developments in the fields of metallurgy, metals refining, industrial design, mining engineering, mining machinery, and mining geology. A set of 76 photographs chiefly of a trip to East and South Africa, including Egypt and Mozambique, date to approximately 1897. There are a few views of a mining camp and many of indigenous peoples, posed for portraits, performing dances, and in everyday scenes in villages. Other photographs show unidentified people (possibly Roeser) at a house in Europe or the United States, and scenery of the Rhine River and Monte Carlo. There is one carte-de-visite portrait of a man, made in Stuttgart, Germany, that is inscribed to Fred Roeser (in German), and signed by [Ferd.?] Keppler.
