The collection consists of materials related to individual speaking engagements for Arthur Bueche. These folders were created and maintained by Bueche’s secretary. Each engagement received its own folder, usually containing a draft of the speech as well as related correspondence, notes and the reports from background research. The collection is organized chronologically.

The Rice Papers contains the working papers of Chester Rice, including correspondence, notes, articles, patents, publications and photographs. A small amount of the materials is biographical, and some appears to have been inserted into the collection by his family. There is also a small amount of biographical material about his father, Edwin Rice.

The collection contains materials collected by John Anderson during his career at General Electric, as an engineer in the Research Laboratory and as a volunteer in the GE Hall of Electrical History and the Schenectady Museum Archives. The working papers found here largely consist of correspondence, which makes up the first series. There is also a series of articles and reports written by Dr. Anderson during his time in the Laboratory
