The bulk of the collection consists of Andrews' administrative papers (16 boxes of material) and [personal] papers (2 boxes). There are also blowbacks (printed copies from microfilm) of his journals from the Central Asiatic Expeditions (CAE), and two of Andrews' handwritten signed letters from Japan: one of 1912 to George Borup; the other of 1918 to Joel Asaph Allen, congratulating him on his 80th birthday. The administrative papers consist primarily of correspondence; there are also manuscripts of Andrews' articles, book reviews of others' works; biographies of Andrews; and memos. The 1987 accession papers are correspondence, manuscripts, and transcripts of Andrews' broadcasts and talks. This part of the collection also contains one folder of family and biographical documents and newspaper clippings received from Charles Gallenkamp, Andrews' biographer, in 1990. The majority of the administrative papers' correspondence concerns requests for speaking engagements about Andrews' explorations, requests for articles, and letters from the public and from companies requesting information. There is some correspondence relating to the planning of the CAE, especially from applicants; public news of some of the finds; and letters to and from companies regarding donations of supplies. Some reports describe working conditions in China. Andrews' correspondents include members of the CAE: Charles P. Berkey, Frederick B. Butler, Ralph W. Chaney, Walter Granger, Capt. W.P.T.

The collection consists primarily of administrative papers from the years 1959-1969 when Oliver was director of the AMNH. The files were arranged arranged alphabetically by subject, most likely by Oliver's secretary, and have been kept in their original order. A typewritten Guide to the file cabinet was found in box 1. Some miscellaneous files from the last box were interfiled. Most of the material is typewritten or printed matter, but there is a handwritten signed letter from explorer Roy Chapman Andrews. Other material relates to the museum's centennial in 1969, the opening of new exhibit halls, the museum's educational and publishing activities, the establishment of the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Fund, and the supervision of the research activities of the various departments, including the work of the five research stations operated by the museum. There are also four large boxes of unprocessed papers covering the years 1960 to 1966. Additional resources may be located in the AMNH Dept. of Herpetology.
