The CAEN Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Materials series contains born-digital and digitized content created for the anniversary of the unit's founding in 2008. The series has four main components: signs and placards used to create exhibits; posters used at the 25th anniversary celebration and for an online exhibit; a timeline of important events and innovations over CAEN's first 25 years; and a video of the 25th anniversary exhibits. The placards provide information about hardware and infrastructure employed by CAEN over the years and the posters includes digitized images of photographs in the Visual Materials series. The video documents the exhibit created for CAEN's 25th anniversary and includes footage of various computers and hardware used by the division as well as short introductory pieces by Paul Killey, Mark Giuffrida, and Dan Maleta.

The Visual Materials series contains content in various formats that document the people, facilities, infrastructure, and events of CAEN. Video footage includes VHS tapes and a U-Matic tape from the 1980s and 1990s provide a look into CAEN labs and facilities (including a behind-the-scenes tour of the Integrated Technology Instructional Center during its construction), a CAEN/ITD Quiz Bowl during the units 10th anniversary in 1993, and interviews with important administrators about the development of CAEN. A 2005 promotional video gives a thorough overview of Camp CAEN. Photographic materials are comprised of color slides, contact sheets, negatives, and photo albums. Taken together, these materials provide a comprehensive view of CAEN through the late 1990s, with extensive portraits of staff and administrators, images of facilities and hardware, and candid photos of students and personnel at various events. The majority of the photographic materials were taken by CAEN staff member Ann Gordon.
