This collection contains documents from the Student Government Association (SGA) including bills, constitutions, agendas and minutes of specific committees and councils, and much more regarding the university's government system.

Most of the documents consist of primary sources that were either handwritten or typed. The collection is mostly made up of agendas, minutes, bills, and correspondence of various A&M student committees and councils. There are a few documents on various university programs and issues that occurred between the 1970s and early 1990s. The entire collection covers the time period from the late 1960s to the early 1990s respectively. These documents only address Texas A&M ventures and concerns regarding the student system.

The collection also includes various traditional events (i.e. Muster) and important people (i.e. Dr. Koldus) that was a result of or contributed to Texas A&M's Student Government.

This archive collection contains photographs, intelligence reports, war diaries, documents, original drawings, maps, bulletins, and military memorabilia belonging to Thomas Harlan Ellett of the 302nd Engineer Regiment 77th Division, who served on the front lines of the Western Front first as a Lieutenant, and then as a Captain. This archive documents Ellett's entire military career, from basic training at Upton Camp, Plattsburg, NY, to his deployment to France and Belgium, and through the end of the war.

Most of the wartime photographs are vernacular and are unpublished. They show officers and soldiers of the 302nd Engineer Company surveying, building, and repairing bridges, roads, and other infrastructure; some of the men are positioned in trenches and dugouts, others are eating meals at the edges of the forests and fields or are simply at ease. Meanwhile, burned French countryside and destroyed villages are the primary backdrops. Other photographs include German machine gun emplacements, U.S. military supply and weapons convoys, railway lines ruined and rebuilt, and various scenes at the Front near Argonne, Laon, Stonne, Epies, Hindenburg line near Etain, and Chemin des Dames.

Documents included are of the classified information Ellet sent and received to and from the front lines. Materials consist of wartime correspondence, vernacular snapshots and official U.S. Military photographs, the account of the bridge repair (Villers devant Mouzon) for which Ellett was decorated, field correspondence, U.S. Army field message books, and personal daily and monthly diaries (1917 through the end of the war).

The personal Excelsior Diaries include the crucial summer months of 1918 and record Ellett's personal experiences. There are numerous examples of stark juxtapositions, such as surviving a gas shell attack followed immediately by the news of the birth of his daughter (respectively June 23 and June 24, 1918). In an August 1918 entry, Ellett celebrates his first wedding anniversary and on the next page he records the death of President Roosevelt's youngest son, Quentin Roosevelt.

There are eighteen Vintage WWI Maps (mostly folding), some of which are annotated with troop positions and movements. A French Resistance map, written in manuscript, complete with two Order Sheets (signed by the director of Resistance) directing the destruction of a bridge. The multi-colored sketch map it titled, "P.A. Touret, Plan nouvelle des Travaux" with a legend and a scale; three colors indicate the status of current projects in the engineering works.

Other materials include Ellett's own studio portrait, military training certificate, leave passes, official correspondence, nominations in support of his Distinguished Service Cross, his own numerous architectural and engineering drawings in France and Belgium, vaccination card, and official signed American Expeditionary Forces Identity Card with stamped embossed photograph.
