This series includes the records of David C. Baldus's service on the faculty at the University of Iowa School of Law. This consists of records of governance activities such as punitive issues and committees he served on. Scholarly material that did not fall under any other series scope is also featured here mainly represented as his research, correspondence, and notes that have a more general focus than any specific project. This also includes annotated published research materials.

The correspondence files are arranged in four series, general correspondence with individuals A-Z; correspondence with publishers, newspaper editors, etc.; correspondence relating to the publication of the three volume series Communication and Propaganda in World History, and correspondence relating to the 1975 Thyssen Workshop "Probleme der Regierbarkeit".

Among the publications in this series are the Federation, which communicated information on legislative bills that would affect union workers, the Capital Examiner, which relays information on business and labor communities, and the Legislative Gazette which also provided workers with information on union issues. Also included are reports of several New York State agencies.

This series consists mostly of scrapbooks kept by Chi Sigma Theta's official sorority historian, documenting the activities of the sorority for that year. There are also two scrapbooks kept by individual sorority members.

The name of this series comes right from the Conference's own record-keeping system. In the 1990s it stopped storing meeting minutes separately in oversized binders and began interfiling them with correspondence, meeting announcements, memorandums, and treasurer's reports in folders labeled with the current month and year. Minutes include regularly scheduled events, such as executive committee meetings, as well as ad hoc meetings. Memos include those sent by the NYSCLMHD as well as those received by the Conference from outside sources such the New York State Office of Mental Health and the Division of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse.

This series contains financial records that include funding proposals, grant applications and budgets.
