Individuals figuring prominently in the activities of the BAS and in the correspondence include:

The Administration files are arranged alphabetically by subject. They contain minutes, agenda, annual reports, bylaws, financial statements, grant applications, subscription lists, circulation reports, and promotional materials. The files document the day-to-day activities of the BAS and detail the organizational structure which supported the journal. Included in these files are minutes and papers dating from 1945 to 1949 of the Atomic Scientists of Chicago. This was the organization which initially sponsored publication of the Bulletin.

The Articles are arranged alphabetically by author's name. The files contain correspondence, memoranda, drafts of articles, galleys, reprints, resource material for articles, and clippings. The articles were submitted to Rabinowitch for publication in the BAS and may or may not have actually been printed. Articles which Rabinowitch himself may have written for the Bulletin are not included here but have been placed in Series 5 with his other writings.

This subseries contains correspondence with Thomas Blakemore, Kurt Steiner, Justin Williams, and other people Oppler worked with while in Japan. Other letters concern various interviews with scholars and journalists and various political causes that Oppler supported. Of note is a letter from Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman L. Leminitzer (September 22, 1960). Oppler segregated almost all correspondence generated while working with the SCAP and the FEC and while writing Legal Reform in Occupied Japan and entries for The Encyclopedia of Japan and kept it with other papers pertaining to these activities. This arrangement has been preserved.

This subseries contains articles and speech notes Oppler wrote after retiring. Of particular interest are his analysis of the Sunakawa Case, in which the Japanese Supreme Court ruled that Japan's constitutional ban on rearmament did not prohibit the stationing of U.S. troops on Japanese soil, and notes for a speech that he gave a week before his death.

This subseries consists of research notes that Oppler wrote after his retirement; newspaper clippings, among them a 1948 issue of the Pacific Stars and Stripes, are sometimes interspersed. Some of Oppler's research may have been undertaken in preparation for the writing of Legal Reform in Occupied Japan: A Participant Looks Back, but some of the notes concern German and American law, society, and politics.
