    The Samuel G. Hibben collection is divided into four sections: articles, photographs, correspondence, and ephemera. The bulk of the collection consists of articles, both handwritten and printed, and most written by Hibben. The rest are lighting-related articles kept by Hibben, sent to him by colleagues or through the Westinghouse Company. These articles are arranged alphabetically by title, in Boxes 1-3. Box 4 contains articles specifically related to projects in which Hibben was involved, such as the lighting of the Statue of Liberty or the 1939 New York World's Fair, and committees he was a part of, such as the Electrical Historical Foundation. Box 5 contains miscellaneous unattributed articles, and photographs, mostly of the 1939 New York World's Fair, the White House, and various landmarks being lit at night. Box 6 contains correspondence, arranged by date, most being either written by Hibben or directed to his attention. The majority of this correspondence relates to various electrical committees. Box 7 consists of ephemera, and includes photographic negatives, diagram sketches, and blueprints.
