Content dating from1950-1990 on 1/4 inch open reel, film, and videotape. The collection consists of hundreds of hours of Arnold Michaelis' audio, film, and video interviews with the world's leading political and cultural personalities. Martin Luther King, Jr., Adlai Stevenson, Dean Rusk, Ronald Reagan, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Indira Gandhi are just a few of the men and women interviewed by Michaelis in their own homes. Arnold Michaelis sought "to record for today and posterity, the flavor of the thinking and the essence of the ideas of the men and women whose lives will be studied by future generations." The bulk of the collection is made up of films, television programs, and radio programs that Michaelis produced, and elements used in those productions. The majority of the audiotapes in the collection consist of interviews, edited and unedited, with celebrities and political figures.

Programs with complete text for various 1935 German Song Recitals, including songs of romanticism, folk songs, songs by Heine and Goethe. The performers include many of the most reknown lieder singers of the 1930s, such as Lotte Lehmann, Elizabeth Schumann and Gerhard Husch, many of whom were not touring in the United States that year. The "recitals" may have been for gatherings of either German or music students at the University to listen to recordings or radio broadcasts.
