The Topical Files (4.5 linear feet) series contains papers dating from 1957 to 1983 and are arranged alphabetically by each individual's name or institution. Correspondence comprises the bulk of the records, as Overberger had personal as well as professional relationships with many prominent chemists in his field. Transcripts of several of Overberger's various talks can be found arranged alphabetically by institution under the heading of Talks. Correspondence found in the many files devoted to various institutions also illustrates his activities as a popular speaker on the topic of polymer chemistry. Several photographs of Overberger and his cohorts are also scattered throughout the collection and are noted in parentheses in the box listing.
