Manuscripts
The collection deals primarily with the professional activities of Olin C. Wilson, who was most active from the mid-1930s into the 1980s. Wilson corresponded frequently with astronomers from a variety of universities in the United States and abroad, and the collection is representative of the deeply international and collaborative nature of astronomical and astrophysical research in the second half of the twentieth century. It also contains valuable and insightful material related to the schism between Mount Wilson and CalTech in the 1970s and 1980s, and the near-demise of Mount Wilson during that decade.

The bulk of the collection spans Baughman's career at the Huntington Library and Columbia University. The collection is divided into two boxes. Box 1 is Baughman's personal papers and publications. These include a report on a book worm infection in the incunabula and a biography of Henry E. Huntington. Baughman's publications include poetry and three editions of Great Books in Great Editions. The 1967 volume of the Columbia Library Column includes an In Memoriam to Roland Baughman. Box 2 contains Baughman's family photograph scrapbook, dated between 1942 and 1954. The scrapbook includes undated photographs from Baughman's childhood.
