Miscellaneous scientific papers and proposals, an autobiographical essay, a biographical article by Julian Sturtevant, reminiscences of students, a bibliography of Herbert Spencer Harned's works (1912-1963), an outline for a science course at Yale University, and a few items of correspondence make up this collection.

The materials consist of photographs and illustrations used by Herbert Thoms (Yale Medical 1910) in his book Yale Men and Landmarks in Old Connecticut (1967). Included are photographs of houses in New Haven and the surrounding areas of Yale historical figures. Most of the materials in Series I are negatives. Thoms's scrapbook in Series II is composed of descriptions and photographs of memorials and gravestones of men who played important roles in Yale's history.

The papers consist of correspondence, research notes, photographs, scrapbooks and memorabilia related to Herbert Warren Wind's career as a writer and sports journalist.

Posters are on the subjects of Cuba, world peace and nuclear disarmament, workers' rights, anti-Apartheid, the Berkshire Forum, U.S.A. political advertisement, Nicaragua/Sandinistas, artistic events, Granada, Che Guevara, Guatemala and Chile, Communism, freedom for people of African descent, unspecified photos, and miscellaneous topics.

The papers include correspondence, writings, minutes, research data files, printed material, and photographs which document Herman Haupt Chapman's career as a forester and professor in the Yale School of Forestry. The papers highlight Chapman's research, writings, and teaching on forest mensuration, valuation, regulation, and finance, and his work with the Society of American Foresters, particularly his study of forestry education in the United States. His interests in national and state parks, forests, and wilderness areas; his lifelong research on the problems of forest protection and silviculture in the southern pines; and his close association with the students and alumni of the Yale School of Forestry are also documented.

The papers consist of Herman Haupt's business and personal correspondence, financial and legal papers, and writings, which were collected by Herman Haupt Chapman during his research on his grandfather's life. In addition, the papers include the manuscript of Chapman's unpublished biography, as well as transcripts of documents, photographs, additional family correspondence, diaries, and other family papers, and Chapman's own correspondence files which relate to his research and biographical writings. The papers highlight Haupt's career as a civil engineer, particularly his work on the Hoosac Tunnel and his subsequent legal contests with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and his service to the Union during the Civil War.

The papers consist of correspondence, writings, subject files, and photographs which document the professional life of Herman Kahn, especially during the years after he left the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Presidential Library. The files mostly pertain to Kahn's involvement with professional organizations and his interest in issues affecting the archival profession as a whole.

The collection consists of papers concerning Elias Boudinot, an Indian whose original name was Galagina, or Buck Oowatie, and who became editor of the "Cherokee Phoenix", New Echota, Cherokee Nation. Early correspondence relates chiefly to Boudinot's marriage to Harriet Gold, and the Gold family controversy over intermarriage with an Indian. Other correspondence relates to the dispute between the Cherokee Nation and the state of Georgia, the Supreme Court decision of 1832, President Jackson's refusal to halt Georgia's annexation of the Cherokee Nation and Boudinot's support of John Ridge, who favored withdrawal of the Cherokee Nation to the West.

The papers consist of three versions of a memoir written by Herman Martin, an itinerant labor organizer at the turn of the century. The memoirs contain autobiographical information and political observations made by Martin. The three versions, created between 1965-1986, contain somewhat differing details. Related newspaper articles and correspondence complete the papers.
