Manuscripts
Arranged chronologically, the series contains correspondence, drafts, outlines, notes, and ephemera that document Hibbs' extensive public speaking engagements. Hibbs spoke on a wide range of topics to varied audiences, including professional organizations, educators and students, JPL and Caltech employees, and community groups. Topics include exploring the solar system and Earth, the future of technology and space exploration, JPL projects and history, as well as personal travel. Hibbs maintained a folder of correspondence with his agent, Bill Cooper Associated, Inc., which is located in this series. In addition to general discussions regarding speeches and presentations, the miscellaneous correspondence includes potential television and film consulting requests. Hibbs frequently gave slide show presentations, many along with his speeches. Therefore, the drafts are often of the technical direction of the slide programs or the dialog to accompany the images.

Visual Materials
The Fanchon & Marco collection contains approximately 1400 photographs depicting hundreds of Fanchon and Marco Inc. sets and performers between approximately 1925 and 1938. The collection also includes three boxes of ephemera, dated from around 1912 to 1940, that consist of newspapers clippings, musical scores, miscellaneous photographs, and the supplemental press books that were included with Fanchon & Marco's promotional magazine, Now (later The Idea), dating from 1930 and 1931. The 16 volumes (now disbound) of photographs in this collection served as a visual inventory for hundreds of Fanchon & Marco sets and performers. The images document the actors, dancers, costumes, sets, and concepts and appear to have been primarily photographed during rehearsals before the shows premiered in Los Angeles theaters such as Loew's State Theater and the Paramount Theater. The first volume contains some photographs presumably taken in San Francisco and later volumes include a few photographs by New York-based photographers. Photographers represented in the collection are: Archer's Art Shop of Los Angeles; Hollywood photographers Irving Archer; Archer's Studios; Curt Fox; Paralta Studios; and Harry Wenger. A few photographs include the imprints of Peerless Photo of Los Angeles, John Sirgio, H.W. Steward of San Francisco, Talbot of New York, Weaver of Los Angeles, and White Studio of New York.
