Personal Files
Manuscripts
Arranged alphabetically by subject, the series contains correspondence, awards, clippings, research materials and notes, presentation transcripts, and ephemera that document Hibbs' personal interests and research, family, education, and activities outside the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Of particular interest is his Scientist as Astronaut application. Hibbs and Walford's travels to Reno and Las Vegas to play roulette and their subsequent trip aboard the Adonde are documented in the Adonde Trip and Roulette subseries. The Earthwatch subseries contains transcripts of presentations Hibbs gave following his adventures with the organization. Hibbs' performances in Theater Arts of California Institute of Technology (TACIT) productions and his work as a member of the Board of Directors for the Volunteer Professionals for Medical Advancement (VPMA) are documented in the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) subseries. The Aging Research and Writings subseries documents his studies in the area and Hibbs' creation of metal sculptures is documented in the Kinetic Art subseries. Correspondence is dispersed throughout the series; of particular interest are Hibbs' and his sister, Agnes', correspondence with their father located in the Family History Materials subseries, and Walford's incoming and outgoing correspondence with Hibbs in the Correspondence subseries.

Photographs And Negatives
Manuscripts
Arranged by subject and alphabetically within, the series contains photographs, negatives, and photographic slides that document the personal life and family of Hibbs, the development of JPL and early satellite programs, and Hibbs' involvement in the broadcasting of satellite programs at the Space Flight Operations Facility (SFOF) and as host of the children's television program, "Exploring." The Broadcasting, JPL, and Personal subseries represent the bulk of images. Within the Personal subseries, which contains an extensive collection of early family photographs, arrangement is both chronological and by subject. The chronologically arranged materials originally arrived in two boxes, one primarily negatives and labeled by month of year and the other box of photographs only, grouped in three or six month increments; these have been combined into one chronological sequence with the original description maintained. Scrapbooks and photographic slides are organized by material type and are therefore located at the end of the series; four slide show carousels contain images taken by Hibbs between 1946 and 1951, including his trip aboard Adonde with Roy L. Walford.
