Biographical Information includes a bibliography of Christensen's academic journal articles, some personal recollections about his childhood, and some brief professional information. The journal article listing is current to 1995 and is assembled from many different summaries found in his papers. The personal childhood reflection is dated 1990 and is approximately 25 pages long. The professional information includes a summary of his University of Michigan personnel record (when he arrived in 1955) and also has a ten page reflection about his time as Chair of the Biochemistry Department at the University of Michigan (as recollected in 1992).

The Biographical series includes a typed biography, a diary reflecting on Corbusier's childhood experiences at Fort Mackinac, MI, a typed manuscript highlighting his experiences during the Boxer Rebellion, articles about Corbusier's medical, military, and civilian life, and his writings on the subject of orthopedics in military service published in The Soldier's Foot and The Conservation of Man Power for War.

Also, collected materials from Corbusier's time at the University of Michigan (including a set of his handwritten class notes from Medical School, 1896-1897), special and general military orders, certificates pertaining to his medical, military, and civilian life endeavors, programs and invitations to international congresses and meetings. Collected materials also include a leather swatch from a "doughboy" boot.

The Biographical series comprises four linear inches of materials and consists of biographical information, newspaper clippings, interviews, obituaries, journals, and photo-graphs. Newcomb's liberal political bent is evidenced by the clippings from the Bennington Banner which state his position on the Spanish Civil War. Such vocal liberalism incurred the unpleasant federal investigations of Newcomb's political activities during the McCarthy era; the transcripts of these investigations are preserved in this series. Given his later research into the impact of college on shaping attitudes, the journal Newcomb kept during his college years at Oberlin is of special interest to the biographer.
