The bulk of this series consists of MacKinnon's diaries, which range in format from loose typescript pages to small bound manuscript volumes. This series also includes MacKinnon's drafts, research, and notes regarding his autobiography, which he never published.

Materials in this series include six typed chapters written by Henry Rauch regarding his life and memories, and were apparently intended for his children, Dudley and Elizabeth (Betsey). These chapters are titled: "My Early Years," "Amoskeag Manufacturing Company 1922-1936," "Supplementary - Amoskeag 1922-1936 - Our Life in Manchester - Stories re F.C. Dumaine," "The Years Between Amoskeag (1936) and B.I. [Burlington Inudstries] (August 1951)," "Commentary - H.E.R. and B.I.," and untitled Bentley College trusteeship and involvement notes.

The materials in this series were removed from scrapbooks put together by Henry Rauch on his tenure as a member of the Board of Trustees of Duke University, and consist of correspondence, clippings, reports, pamphlets, photographs, cards, and typed notes. The materials were largely in chronological order and had apparently been arranged into three scrapbooks or groupings: Duke 1963-1970, Duke 1971-May 360, 1978, and June 1978-1992. Some of these materials were annotated by Henry Rauch by hand or typed (generally dated). Also included are a few materials related to Bentley College.

These slides (labeled with "SLA" prefix) were submitted to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA) specifically as nominees for the national award program, most recently known as the OBIE awards. Member companies and advertisers submitted what they felt to be their best work for this national competition. The first National Contest and Exhibit of Outdoor Advertising Art was presented by the Outdoor Advertising Department of the Ad Council of the Chicago Association of Commerce in 1930. Later, sponsorship appears to have been provided by the Art Directors Club of Chicago, and perhaps other industry organizations. The Institute of Outdoor Advertising (IOA) was involved starting in 1965 until its merger with the OAAA, which continues "the OBIE" awards competition today. The OBIE award is patterned from the ancient Egyptian "obelisk," considered by many to be the earliest form of outdoor advertising. Award categories varied by year but early groupings often included Posters, Painted Bulletins, Campaigns, and Public Service (Kerwin H. Fulton medal award). Later, the number of categories grew to include emerging formats such as transit advertising and product type categories.

The Benton and Bowles Files comprise the largest part of the Archives. They include print advertisements; over 500 films; significant documents relating to the work of the agency; photographs; and corporate publications. The series spans the years 1929 to 1985 with most of the material dating from the 1950s-on. Materials include internal memoranda; reports; speeches; printed material (manuals, leaflets, pamphlets, and house organs); photographs; research notes; credentials; employee training material; press releases and clippings; book manuscripts; audio tapes of oral history interviews; and financial papers. The Benton & Bowles Files provide documentation of the history of print and television advertising; television programming; the history of the B&B agency and its corporate culture; corporate communications; marketing research; and advertising executives. The earliest Items in the B&B Files are two small bank books recording account activity of the fledgling agency from 1929 to 1935 and copies of William ("Billie") Benton's long letters to his mother (1929-1938) in which he confides details of his new advertising agency as well as family matters. A small number of other Items date from the 1930s and 1940s and illustrate isolated aspects of the agency's business in that period. Files of various agency in-house publications begin in 1947 and provide the most complete and continuous views of Benton & Bowles, its clients, advertising campaigns, personnel, and various offices in the U.S. and abroad.

The images originated with the Afrapix documentary project "Beyond the Barricades." The project resulted in an exhibit and a book, Beyond the Barricades: Popular Resistance in South Africa (1989), published in cooperation with the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University.
