Writings and Lectures (1.5 linear feet) consists of articles and book chapters, as well as lectures delivered to various groups and associations around the world. They are arranged chronologically, and date from the time Converse began his graduate studies at the University of Michigan to the time of his departure from Ann Arbor for the Center for Advanced Study of the Behavioral Sciences. To distinguish his speaking career from his writing career, lectures and paper presentations are grouped separately. For a complete listing of Converse's writings and major speeches see his vitae and bibliographies in the Biography series.

Writings, Drafts and Notes series documents Mayman's prolific career as a published author and co-author. The series has been arranged chronologically to help illustrate the evolution of Mayman's writing and research interests. Many articles contain multiple dates. This usually indicates that multiple drafts and re-writes have been included in the folder. The files usually contain multiple edited versions of the particular writing rather than the published version. Co-authors have not been indicated in the finding aid.
