This series contains two large bibliographies of Ernest van den Haag's writings. The first bibliography covers his works from 1950-1982. The second includes his writings up to 1998. These bibliographies organize his writings alphabetically by topic and each publication includes an assigned number. These numbers do not reflect a strict, but rather general chronological order (i.e. number one was published in 1968 while number two was published in 1954). The numbering system probably reflects the order in which the articles were begun. Some were published quickly while others took longer. This series also contains van den Haag's curriculum vitae from 1973-1998 as well as short biographies from 1973-1989.

His testimony was also used at the International Court of Justice at The Hague concerning South West African relations with Ethiopia and Liberia in 1966. Ernest van den Haag's testimony in two pornography cases reveals the struggle between towns and theaters showing adult films in the early 1980s. Other topics van den Haag testified on include medicine, psychology, labor, and homosexuality. Some of the material gathered in this series also includes proposed outlines for testimony, questions to be asked, preliminary notes, and van den Haag's curriculum vitae. Expert testimony usually begins with van den Haag presenting himself by answering questions about his knowledge and background that established him as an expert on the subject.
