The Personal files series (0.6 linear feet, 1948-2015 with gaps) consists of two groupings: Childhood and High School. The Childhood group includes photographs, correspondence, an ephemera collection of monster movie ads, diaries, and samples of Ovshinsky's earliest writing and first newsletters. The High School group contains memorabilia from Ovshinsky's high school years, including photographs, personal writings, an independent literary magazine, and yearbooks. Folders in this series include Ovshinsky's own reflections on his childhood and adolescence. The series also contains Ovshinsky's preface to the collection, contained in a file labeled "Inventory and backstories." This file provides Ovshinsky's description of the contents of the collection and a detailed account of his life experiences from his perspective in 2015. However, although the order of materials remains the same, the box numbers indicated in Ovshinsky's description are obsolete; please refer to the contents list below to locate files.

Sermon file, 1925-1958
Sermon File, 1925-1958 (7.75 linear feet) consists of three subseries. One is an alphabetical sequence of typescripts and reprints of the sermons preached by Henry Hitt Crane while he was pastor of Central Methodist Church, 1938-1958. The second subseries is a card file with several sections. The most extensive is an alphabetical listing of sermon titles with the date(s) and place(s) where the message was given and followed by the notecards created by Crane in preparing the message. Unlike the subseries of sermon messages, this card file dates back to 1925. Smaller portions of the card file subseries document Crane's salary and speech honorarium payments. There is another card file, arranged alphabetically by city that lists the day, place, and title of message given by Crane. These card files, more than any other source, highlight the scope of Crane's speaking obligations. Crane in some years averaged more than one speech or sermon message per day. The third subseries within the Sermon File consists of reel-to-reel sound tapes of messages given by Crane at Central Methodist Church. There are approximately 150 reels in this series. Some of the tapes consist of messages given by other speakers. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., for one, spoke at Central Methodist in 1957.
