The papers are divided into six categories: 1) Personal - correspondence, notebooks, and presentations; 2) Educational - Bethel and MBS; 3) Subject Files; 4) MCC; 5) General Conference; and 6) Prairie View. His correspondence is extremely limited, and most of the personal papers consist of notes and drafts for various papers, presentations, and sermons. Course materials from Bethel are sparse, but very extensive notes and papers are in the collection from MBS, where it is interesting to note that with the exception of a couple courses with Donovan Smucker and S. F. Pannabecker, he took almost entirely courses with professors from MBS’s partner institution, Bethany (Brethren) Seminary.

There are a few letters related to his work with MCC and GCMC, but most of these materials consist of reports, papers and proceedings from the many conferences held in the 1950s and 1960s. A few of these are annotated. Files from his work with these institutions, as is also the case with Prairie View, likely remained almost entirely with his employers. Even the CPS and MCC files from his work in the 1940s are limited, but they contain a few folders of original and personal materials of more interest and perhaps uniqueness.
