The materials consist of 102 scrapbooks (volumes 16-18 are missing) compiled by Arnold Guyot Dana concerning Yale.

Arnold Gesell was head of the Psycho-Clinic and later of the Clinic of Child Development at the Yale School of Medicine from 1911 to 1948. Some of his former collaborators founded the Gesell Institute for Child Development in 1950 in New Haven to carry on his work. The collection contains non-book publications by Arnold Gesell and his collaborators as well as of some of the staff members of the Gesell Institute. Publications include not only reprints of professional articles, but also popular articles from newspapers, magazines, and newsletters of organizations; radio broadcasts; book reviews by Gesell; clippings of reviews of Gesell's books; and testimony for legislation. There are also some typescripts, possibly unpublished, and a small amount of manuscript material related to publications.
The papers consist of correspondence, memoranda, and printed material relating to the Ulysses S. Grant Scholarship Foundation. The foundation, a privately run, non-profit organization, was founded in the early 1950s by Eugene Van Voorhis, a Yale freshman. Its goal was to provide tutoring by Yale student volunteers to African-American males in New Haven public schools in preparation for admission to private schools. These papers were compiled by Lerner during his tenure as a guidance counselor in the New Haven public school system.
The records consist of case study records of Arnold L. Gesell as director of the Clinic of Child Development (later known as the Child Study Center), Yale School of Medicine.

The papers consist of nine journals documenting the military career of Arnold More Knight in India and South Africa. Also included is a volume of Sikh scripture, written in Panjabi, and captured by Knight after the Battle of Aliwal.
The papers consist of correspondence, topical files, and writings which document Wolfers's academic and administrative career in economics and international relations. Wolfers destroyed his files in 1949, upon retiring as Master of Pierson College, in 1957, when he became professor emeritus at Yale, and again in 1966 when he retired from the Center for Political Research. The files which remain, therefore, are not representative of the full scope of Wolfers's activities and collegial and personal relationships.
