The Papers of Rear Admiral William M. McCormick consist primarily of photographs, a scrapbook, and invitations. The collection is organized in five series. Series I contains biographical information about Rear Admiral McCormick. Included in this series are biographies and news clippings concerning McCormick. Series II consists of invitations to social and diplomatic functions kept by RADM McCormick particularly during his time as a U.S. Naval Attaché in Rome, Italy. This series is arranged chronologically. In Series III are photographs covering a wide variety of subjects, including the ships on which McCormick served, places he visited, personal shots, and the recovery of the Gemini 4 capsule and astronauts. They are organized largely in chronological order, with several folders of undated photographs at the end of the series. Series IV consists of the scrapbooks created by McCormick during his career. The scrapbook is made up primarily of photographs, many of which include captions. Additionally, there are indexes to many of the photos from 1943 and 1959. Much of the material in the scrapbook dates from the 1940s, but items from the 1960s are included as well. Series V consists of miscellaneous items. This series includes two publications, Diary of the Fiume Situation and Anti-Submarine Warfare. Miscellaneous personal items are also included.
