This collection contains correspondence, bulletins, reports, budgets, and off-prints from 1879. It contains early correspondence between the founders of the school and President Butler, and correspondence of the deans and founders of the Ware and Avery libraries. The post-1930 records consist of alumni newsletters, bulletins, and press releases.

This collection documents the life and career of J. Max Bond, Jr., one of the most influential and prominent African-American architects and educators in the United States. The collection primarily documents Bond's professional activities rather than his building projects; however, the collection does contain project records and office records. The collection is made up of six series: Office Records, Personal Papers, Faculty Papers, Professional Papers, Project Records, and Reference Materials.

This collection is composed primarily of correspondence, memoranda, course material, photographs, drawings and slides. Much of the material pertains to Herdeg's career as a professor at Cornell University's College of Architecture, Art and Planning as well as his career as a professor and subsequent department head at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation (GSAPP). Many of the photographs are proofs used in Herdeg's Formal Structure in Indian Architecture and Formal Structure in Islamic Architecture of Iran and Turkistan. The basis for the series and subseries order was developed from Herdeg's own groupings. For the majority of the collection, Herdeg's folder titles have been maintained and the material has been arranged chronologically.
