There are occasional personal and scientific letters but these are very few compared to the letters from the public. The correspondence covers the years 1930-1952 (bulk 1948-1952). It contains both incoming and carbons of outgoing correspondence. The collections also includes a few press releases, newsletters, one manuscript in German, some ephemera, several black-and-white photographs and two black-and-white slides. Notable participants include: Ansel Adams, Robert Aitken, Loyal Aldrich, Lawrence Aller, C. T. Elvey, G. F. Fassett, George Gamow, Cecilia Gaposchkin, Warren K. Green, John C.
