The series consists of lecture notes, addresses, radio addresses, articles, and research materials created or gathered by W. D. Albright. The material dates from 1924 to 1945, most predominantly from the mid-1930s to 1940s, and relates to Albright’s work as a speaker and author. Much of the material, particularly that relating to agriculture, is closely connected to his work as the Superintendent of the Beaverlodge Experimental Sub-station.
The records were originally housed in two binders and appear to fall into several large topic groups including pioneering, substation work, Peace River District, soil erosion, crops, vitamins, motivational speeches, World War II (including Red Cross and Victory Bonds), and poetry.
The majority of the material was originally housed in two binders and the records were kept in the same order as they appeared within the binders, although some slight rearrangements were made to reunite dismembered articles. The contents of the Agricultural files were originally in one binder and the contents of the Motivational file and the Lantern Slide Indices file were in the other. Binder 1’s contents now found in Agriculture files 1 and 2 with loose article from former Spencer reference collection added to the front. Loose material previously housed in the Spencer reference collection and the lantern slide boxes were added to Agricultural File 1 and Lantern Slide Indices.
