Among Schaefer's most successful ventures via the ASRC was the Yellowstone Field Expeditions. In 1960, Schaefer met with National Park Service members in Wyoming's Grand Tetons to discuss the possibility of leading scientific studies in Yellowstone National Park. Specifically, he was interested in the behavior of supercooled clouds that form in the area of Old Faithful. Clouds and condensation nuclei were still a fascination of Schaefer's long after his G.E. days, and he foresaw many different kinds of scientists—including cloud physicists—gathering at Yellowstone once a year to devote themselves to conducting experiments, making observations, and comparing outcomes.

The series contains files on individuals associated with the resistance movement, as well as numerous articles on the uprising of July 20, 1944 and the resistance movement in general.

This series consists of publications about environmental issues and geographic regions outside of New York. Reports are authored by federal, state, county and city governments and their agencies, universities, and non-profit organizations. Publications discuss broader national issues such as chemicals in local communities, transportation and American rivers. However, the majority of reports address specific geographic areas and their respective problems. This includes pollution in Alaska, Great Lakes water quality and overall health, wildlife habitat in Illinois, toxic pollution in Rhode Island, and fauna and sediments in the Detroit River. Files also may include supplemental materials related to the respective report such as an accompanying cover letter.

The subject files contain documents with enduring value that do not necessarily fit the other ASRC subseries. Researchers will find brochures and schedules from conferences, newsletters from other organizations, and updates on research projects that the ASRC was not officially collaborating with but still held interest for Schaefer.

Advertisements produced by UUP to coincide with sessions of the state legislature and to raise public awareness of SUNY's needs. Campaigns often focused on the impact of budget cuts on SUNY students and the impact the SUNY system has on the future of New York State. Some "legislative giveaways" carrying the legislative campaign message, as well as some oversized versions of various campaigns are included with the memorabilia in Series 9 of this Subgroup. Television and radio advertisements that accompanied various advertising campaigns are included in the video and audio tapes in Series 6 of this Subgroup. Tentative dates were assigned for some of the materials in this subseries based on information provided by members of UUP's Communications Department.
