Includes alphabetical files, 1957-1983, containing correspondence, lectures and speeches, and other materials relating to his career and associations as a chemist; also professional files created since leaving his position as University of Michigan Vice President for Research.

The papers of Dr. Charles G. Overberger are comprised of three series, Topical Files, Post Vice President of Research Activities, and Biographical Materials. These papers document his work as a professor, researcher, consultant, and expert in polymer chemistry, his administrative duties at the University of Michigan, and his career overall. The papers were originally filed and arranged by his various office assistants over the years and because of this constant attention to detail, have been preserved in the manner in which they arrived.
