The records include correspondence, subject files, notebooks, research notes and other material documenting the work of Roger Revelle as Director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. The records document the construction of buildings on the Scripps campus, curriculum and program planning, expedition planning and results, relations with federal agencies, particularly the U.S. Navy, concerning sponsored research, personnel and other aspects of the daily operation of SIO. The records also include manuscripts of speeches and reports written by Revelle and his staff. The records include a small quantity of material that pre-dates Revelle's directorship, including subject folders on Works Progress Administration workers at Scripps during the depression, information on the sinking of R/V Scripps in 1936, and notes on Harald Ulrik Sverdrup's postwar plans for SIO. The records include a small quantity of material documenting Revelle's work to encourage the Regents of the University of California to establish a new university campus in San Diego. The records include one folder of material generated by Revelle concerning the California loyalty oath controversy of 1950. The records also include material and slides documenting MidPac Expedition and Capricorn Expedition.
