This series contains Ehrmann's autobiographical writings, his CIA file, newspaper clippings of articles on Ehrmann or related to organizations where he worked, and miscellaneous memorabilia (citations, diplomas, and other documents connected with honors he received). There are also some personal records, such as Ehrmann's marriage certificate, passports, death certificate, and materials documenting Ehrmann's involvement in two academic freedom cases (University of Colorado, 1952, Dartmouth College, 1969) as well as a report of the Faculty Planning Committee, chaired by Ehrmann, which was responsible for the curriculum reform at the Faculty of Arts, McGill University.

The Henry Ehrmann Papers are focused on Ehrmann's scholarly career as a political scientist and a professor of law and his participation in the program of re-education of German prisoners-of-war in the 1940s. The material also documents Ehrmann's association with other universities and institutions in the United States and Europe. The correspondence from and to the former German prisoners-of-war who met Ehrmann during the reeducation program organized by the War Department include letters - in several cases written by the prisoners' family members as well - almost entirely dating from the period immediately subsequent to the POWs' release and their return to Germany. Therefore, they are a valuable source of information about the living conditions in occupied Germany, the country's political transformation, and the correspondents' adaptation to new circumstances. Letters in the general correspondence subseries are, for the most part, related to Ehrmann's contacts with his fellow scholars and with academic or political institutions. Also included are speeches, lectures, lecture notes, and newspaper articles, 1941–1984. Ehrmann was a professor of political science at the University of Colorado, the University of California at San Diego, and Dartmouth University, and worked on French politics, labor relations, and comparative government.
