The Audio-Visual Material, 1927-2005 (1.0 linear ft.), series includes scrapbooks, photographs, clippings, and audio/video recordings. The scrapbooks in the collection have been disbound for improved storage and preservation. The Camp Champ scrapbook highlights the Galens involvement with that organization in 1986. There are three folders of pages from a scrapbook compiled between 1940 and 1949. This scrapbook documents, through photographs and captions, the Galens activities during that time, including tag days, initiation banquets, lectures, and picnics. The final scrapbook chronicles the history of Galens from its inception in 1914 through 1985 with the use of photographs, text, and clippings. While this scrapbook has been disbound in order to better preserve the materials, a photocopy of the original scrapbook and the contents of the scrapbook are contained in separate folders in the series. Loose photographs show the Galens' initiation banquet, lectureship, the silver shovel award, and various Tag Day poster children. The clippings folder focuses on Tag Days. There is also one reel-to-reel audio tape of the 1980 smoker and six VHS videotapes and two DVDs of Galens Smokers between 1989 and 2005.
