The Alfred L. Davis papers cover his start in 1938 at RIT to his retirement in 1986 and his continued service to the University and the Rochester community. The earliest records regard his initial employment as a teacher in the General Education department in 1938. Other RIT related records include documentation of the campus move to Henrietta in 1968, enrollment figures, endowments, scholarships, materials from his time as a member of the Board of Trustees, and photographs of RIT places and people. While at Bausch and Lomb in the early 1940s, he spent five years as president of the Rochester Society for Quality Control and was a founding member of the American Society of Quality Control. There is a small amount of material documenting these pursuits.The papers also include Davis' community service with the Rochester Chamber of Commerce, Hillside Children's Center, Rotary Club, and the establishment of Margaret's House, a childcare center at RIT. Davis created Margaret's House in memory of his second wife, Margaret Welcher Davis. The Alfred L. Davis papers contain correspondence, photographs, awards, and clippings. Materials mainly document his seventy year career with Rochester Institute of Technology, including his posts as vice president for development and public relations, and administrative secretary to RIT's Board of Trustees.
