The Albert R. Hibbs Papers, 1884-2009 (80 boxes) document the personal life and career of Hibbs as a manager and scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the relationships between JPL, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and the development of the solar system exploration programs. Hibbs' consulting work for television and radio programs, Biosphere 2, and Morgantown Area Rapid Transit System (MARTS) are also documented. Although the collection arrived at The Huntington in disarray, original order of the materials was maintained when possible and the arrangement reflects Hibbs' general organization by correspondent, subject, or format of materials. The collection is divided into ten series: Audio Visual Materials, Consulting Files, Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Notebooks, Personal Files, Photographs and Negatives, Presentations and Speeches, Publications and Writings, Teaching Files, and Oversize. The bulk of collection materials date from 1931 to 1999 and consists of audio and video tapes, clippings, correspondence, memoranda, notes, photographs, publications, speeches, and writings. As the collection is arranged by both subject and format of the materials, researchers should be aware that materials are often dispersed through the series. For example, materials related to specific subjects are frequently represented in the JPL and Notebooks Series; similarly, Hibbs' friendship and collaboration with Roy L. Walford is documented in the Correspondence and Aging Research and Writings subseries of the Personal Series, in the Space Bioshpheres Ventures subseries of the Consulting series, as well as in the Audio Visual Materials Series. Correspondence is also dispersed throughout the series.

Visual Materials
One set of drawing cards entitled Grammar School Drawing Cards of Elementary Design, by Lucius B. Morgan, printed by Grout & Putman, Worcester, Massachusetts, 1875. The envelope and cards identify this set as the "Second Series." The envelope also identifies Mr. Morgan as the "Teacher of Drawing in the Public Schools, Worcester, Mass." The envelope contains three double-sided cards. The six images on the cards contain simple leaf and flower designs which are then incorporated into more complex designs. For example, there is one image labeled "The Ivy" which show the simple ivy leaf and then the same leaf used in a repeating border and a fan design. Each card is labeled and has a set of designs. The cards have not been printed with identifying numbers. "Florence Belcher" and "$25.00" (price) are written in ms. on the cover.
