The Brian H. Stringham Collection is contained in twenty-five boxes. Processing of the papers was undertaken in large part by Jeff Smith. In organizing the material a topical arrangement was chosen to provide easy access to its information. All correspondence not directly related to a topical category was compiled as a separate category titled "General Correspondence." As with the topical arrangement, the correspondence is organized alphabetically and chronologically.

Photographs, other than those permanently attached in scrapbooks, were removed from the manuscript collection and can be found in collection P0365.
