The Professional Files consist of five subseries. The first subseries, which makes up a majority of the series, contains letters between Case and his colleagues, students, and other noteworthy scholars, such as Barnum Brown, William H. Hobbs, Alfred S. Romer, and Friedrich Von Huene. Correspondence pertains to expeditions, stratigraphic localities, and fossil collecting, typing, and naming. The letters are arranged alphabetically. There are also correspondences from the various geological and paleontological societies and congresses in which he was involved. Case's involvement with one of the groups, The National Research Council, makes up the second subseries. The third subseries contains recognitions given to E.C. Case, such as newspaper clippings, honors, and records of the dinosaurs that were named by, or named after him. The fourth subseries contains some of Case's research and related work, including some documentation of his foreign travels, his research on stratigraphy, and a copy of his textbook manuscript. The final subseries is a collection of speeches and talks given by Case at various events. They are sorted by event or group name.
