No series is inclusive of all dates within the overall collection's date range of 1919-2006 or is exhaustive due to changes in provenance over the years. Items of particular research interest might include local section by-laws and meeting minutes, local section membership rosters, and issues of local section publications. The collection also includes a large amount of materials (chiefly correspondence, conference materials, and other printed materials) from the national headquarters of the ACS.
