The Audiovisual series consists four subseries of materials primarily associated with interviews conducted by Steven Channing, Tim Tyson, and Angela Hampton, and with the May 24, 1963 episode of the CBS News program Eyewitness to History.

The Audiovisual Series is arranged in seven subseries. Four of these reflect film projects Young worked on for which there is existing descriptive information, either provided by Young or by the content of the films themselves, and for which there are discrete reels that do not contain clips from other projects. These include Seven Haitian Moods, Klaximo, Let Truth Be the Prejudice, and The Duck Season. The remaining three subseries contain film reels and video and audio media that do not fit clearly into any particular project -- for the subseries "Other film reels" this is due, in part, to the "spooling" of reels together to facilitate video transfer. In some, but not all, cases the titles in this subseries reflect the different clips on each spooled reel.

The research conducted by Sears over many decades spawned a large component of audio and visual material, separated from the main collection either as originally received or for preservation purposes, and described in this series. Materials are found in a variety of formats, including audiocassettes, audiotapes, microcassettes, small gauge films, and videocassettes. Subject matter can be grouped into the following categories: interviews with Sears about his career; publicity related to his writings; many oral histories and interviews of Jack Nichols, Hal Call, and other activists and gays individuals interviewed by Sears; histories of regional gay activism in Virginia, Kentucky, and other areas; audio recordings from the earliest programs and conferences on homosexuality in the U.S., some featuring Hal Call and Del Martin as speakers; recordings on aids, cloning, and other issues; classroom and conference lectures by Sears; home movies from James Sears and Jack Nichols; audio recordings belonging in the papers of Jack Nichols; gay parades, rallies, and other social events, filmed by various individuals; and other unidentified recordings.

Chiefly made up of two sets of the "Economics Cassette Series" produced by Instructional Dynamics Incorporated (IDI) between 1968 and 1977, this series contains 191 audiocassettes featuring interviews with Paul Samuelson and 125 audiocassettes featuring interviews with Milton Friedman, discussing fiscal policy and other issues through their respective lenses of Keynesian and Monetarist economics. Many of the Friedman interviews listed here have been digitized by the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and may be accessed online through their website on Friedman: https://miltonfriedman.hoover.org/groups/formats/category/Sound%20Recording.
