The Robert Francis Engs Papers reflect his academic career at the University of Pennsylvania and interests in education. A large portion of the collection contains material relating administrative work for the University and Department of History. It includes correspondence, newsletters, program reports, committee minutes and handbooks. This material generally dates from 1985 to 1992. Dr. Engs' participation in the Afro-American Studies program is also documented with program material, course lists, and correspondence from 1973 to 1993. Dr. Engs' interests in education are found in two large sections of the collection. The Student Files series contains both undergraduate and graduate student papers, correspondence and recommendations, dating primarily from the late 1980s. The Princeton Summer Studies Program series reflects the early work of Robert Engs to create better opportunity and access to higher education for minorities in the United States. The series contents detailed weekly reports of the program from 1964 to 1965, as well as student files, photographs, and audio recordings. It provides a complete picture of the program's intent, activities and results. Addition material compiled during the early 1980s and in 1992 when Brandon H. Hirsch, University of Pennsylvania student, wrote his senior honors thesis on the topic, can be found in the collection which documents the later careers of some of the participating students.
