The Biographical series comprises four linear inches of materials and consists of biographical information, newspaper clippings, interviews, obituaries, journals, and photo-graphs. Newcomb's liberal political bent is evidenced by the clippings from the Bennington Banner which state his position on the Spanish Civil War. Such vocal liberalism incurred the unpleasant federal investigations of Newcomb's political activities during the McCarthy era; the transcripts of these investigations are preserved in this series. Given his later research into the impact of college on shaping attitudes, the journal Newcomb kept during his college years at Oberlin is of special interest to the biographer.

The Biographical series, 1942-1988, and 2000, (0.25 linear feet) is arranged alphabetically by topic. The series includes a two-volume "dossier" which Byrd assembled for the University of Michigan's Department of Architecture. The dossier includes documents and photographs from Byrd's life and professional career until the year 1972.

The Biographical series includes Mack's biography, images from Mack's time as a college student and as a basketball coach with the Castle Valley Job Corps in Price, UT; Mack's resumes, newspaper articles and press releases, and materials from a 1976 testimonial put on in Mack's honor by the members of the Region One Board. The latter also includes photographs and an audiocassette recording of the event. Of particular note is a digitized conglomeration of news clips and television interviews pertaining to Mack and his tenure with the Board.

The Biographical series contains documents that cover Stein's personal as well as professional life. The large portion of the documents in this series are university personnel forms which Stein filled out yearly between 1958 and 1976, with a few missing forms. Though the information contained in the forms is somewhat repetitive, they do provide a brief yearly synopsis of the classes Stein taught, his professional activities, and his publications. The most interesting materials in this series relate to Stein's successful application for a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1962-1963.

Included as a part of later accessions are a number of Stein's personal diaries and notebooks. These contain entries on the topics relating to Stein's personal and professional life. On most days Stein would write about his current projects, but occasionally he wrote about his wife Virginia, referring to her as "Ginny" or "Gin."

The series contains a number of folders with photographs of Stein, as well as his family and friends. The photographs depict Stein at events and banquets, accepting awards, and meeting members of the legal community. Also included is a box of various awards and medals that Stein received during his career.
