The collection consists of Viking Project Records, created and collected by A. Earl Cherniack. Subject folders within each box are described in some detail in the attached finding aid. Originally the collection consisted of 6 boxes, however, due to over packing, four large binders, three from box 4 and one from box 5 were packed into a new box, box 7.

The collection includes Viking and pre-Viking project Guidance and Control records including meeting minutes, IOMs, handwritten notes, various correspondence, reviews, reports, charts, schedules, presentations, drawings, photographs, and plans, both permanent and temporary records.
