The collection includes correspondence (1921-1956), files on minerals, maps, notes on Colorado mines, pamphlets, schematic diagrams of the American Smelting and Refining Company, Omaha (1901) and the United Smelting and Refining Company, East Helena, Montana (1892), and reports on the Grand View Project, Delta County, Colorado (n.d.) and on the mining interests of the D.H. Moffat Estate (by Philip Argall and Sons, 1912). Since he was an editor for Miller Freeman Publications for many years, there are files regarding World Coal Magazine, 1974-1982, and World Mining Magazine, 1965-1986. There are many photographs, most of which were taken of mining operations in the western United States for Miller Freeman Publications in the 1940s, however there are some from other parts of the world taken in the 1970s. There are a few original drawings of inventions for smelting and refining plants and mine workings by either George O. Argall Sr. or Philip Argall.
