The Brewster McCloud series (1 linear foot and 1 oversized box) consists of materials from the 1971 film directed by Robert Altman, and written by Doran William Cannon. The film features the actors Bud Cort, Sally Kellerman, Michael Murphy, Shelley Duvall, Rene Auberjonois, Stacy Keach, Bert Remsen, Jennifer Salt and John Schuck. Slides contain images from a cast and crew softball game played in the Astrodome, where a portion of the film is set. Additionally, the slides contain images of birds, possibly taken by the titular character. The scrapbook features original artwork for the film, and photographs of the cast and crew, assembled by producer Lou Adler. Additionally, the photographs contain an inscribed on-the-set still given to Altman by actor Cort. Many of the on-the-set images feature Altman and Cort testing the flying apparatus. Additional materials include a foreign press kit, an original script by Cannon (the film then calledBrewster McCloud's Flying Machine) , and various caricatures of the cast.

The Business and Financial series (68 linear feet) are business records that range from payroll, paid bills, general ledgers, insurance, banking transactions, residuals and other financial documents. There are two sub-series beginning with the Personal sub-series, and ending with the Accounting and General Business sub-series both organized chronologically. The documents range in date from 1969-2007.

As Robert Altman often financed his own films, and received payments for them in both his corporate and personal banking accounts, his personal business records contain financial records pertaining to his various projects.

There are two sub-series Personal and Accounting and General Business and both are organized chronologically. The Personal sub-series includes documents that pertain to the maintenance of his New York and California homes as well as residuals and insurance information. The Accounting and General Business section reflects the various production companies Altman created to produce and finance his various film projects.
