This collection consists of a photo scrapbook with six small charcoal images that depict African-American life in the rural south with an unrelated pictorial on-lay on the upper cover, all tied together with string.

This collection contains a scrapbook that was made using the book "Teacher's Method and Results Book, Used with Progressive Business Accounting" prepared by L. E. Goodyear (1910), and inscribed on the book's front and back cover is "SCRAP BOOK - Baldwin". Within the book are many clippings from the 1930s related to business, religion, and Baldwin's Business College (Yoakum, TX) among other topics.

Many of the articles pasted within the book are written by Howard Baldwin of Yoakum leading one to believe the scrapbook could have been created by Howard Baldwin himself, however loose documents found within and accompanying the book suggest otherwise. Two short handwritten lists found between the pages note making hair appointments and a "dress altered" and found with the second list are two name cards for "Miss Ann Cade".

Other materials sewed or pasted into the book include recipes, Rural Pastor Conference schedule at Texas A&M (page 61), "Glenn Frank's Ideas" columns, and USDA Leaflet #68, "Roadside Markets" from October 1930.

A one-page letter dated Bryan, Texas, October 20, 1946, is also included in this collection, although it is uncertain whether the typed letter is of any relation or has been misplaced from another collection. It is addressed to "Dear Loved Ones" and there is no signature. We can assume the writer of the letter is a woman by the multiple mentions and use of "Daddy", and with the paragraph about Martha making reservations at the Baker Hotel in Dallas for a convention and wanting the writer to stay with her. There are many names mentioned in the letter that one could possibly narrow down the author.

This collection consists of a scrapbook showing "Early Views", mostly buildings, of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas through photographs taken by D. Yarbrough, Co. "A" Engineers (most dated 1938 on the back).

Included is a photo of the "Duncan House, College Station" which is probably the house of the Board of Directors (W. A. Duncan, as director of food services, was assigned a living space in that building). Photographs of several community buildings are also included:  The Boyett Apartments (North Gate), A&M Methodist Church, Baptist Church, Christian Church, St. Mary's (Catholic) Chapel, A&M Consolidated High School, and A&M Consolidated Grammar School (both schools were located on campus). There is also a close-up photo of a "typical" project house, and a long-distance shot of a group of project houses.

This collection contains two scrapbooks created by R. E. Dickson who was the superintendent at Substation No. 7, Texas Agricultural Experiment Station in Spur, Texas.
