The three volumes contain field notes and observations of Joseph Barlow Lippincott, A. E. Rowe, and George A. Elliott regarding the construction of the El Capitan Dam in San Diego. The notes include details regarding the water supply in San Diego, and the construction and inspections of the dam. They also talk in detail about the equipment and supplies needed to build the dam, about engineer Hiram Newton Savage, and about the design of the dam. The volume by Joseph Barlow Lippincott is illustrated with photographs of the dam and hand drawn diagrams and charts. There are two copies of each item; some of the copies have minor differences.

Manuscripts
The collection consists of letters, photographs and clippings related to the life and political career of William Gibbs McAdoo. Much of the McAdoo correspondence deals with his public appearances and engagements as a U.S. senator and also his failed attempt at re-election in 1938. Also of interest is McAdoo's involvement with the first Pan-American flight in 1936 and Franklin Delano Roosevelt's campaign trip to California in July 1938. There are also materials related to McAdoo's involvement with the Liberty Bond Act during World War I and the construction and management of the Hudson River Tunnels.
