Originally compiled by the Office of the Secretary and later by the Academic Appointments Office, this card catalogue contains a record of all appointment letters sent to faculty members beginning in the 1890s. The cards include the appointees' name, degrees, and a record of each appointment (rank, school and academic year). For faculty and officers of research, the last date on the cards is June 30, 1990. For officers of administration, there are cards with information through July 1987. The cards are divided between inactive (last appointment ended before June 1990) and active (still at Columbia in 1990). The active appointments are also subdivided by school or division.

Arranged alphabetically, these individual portraits of Columbia University faculty members are black and white images mounted on heavy cardboard with the name of the individual typed underneath the image. Names that begin with L-M-N-O-P and Q are missing from this collection.

The collection consists of speeches, reports, publications, research notes, and correspondence. The bulk of the collection relates to Wu's involvement in the American Physical Society as well as her research activities. The correspondence is chiefly professional, relating to C. S. Wu's physics research, professional commitments, appointments, meetings, conferences, and publications. Correspondence also includes letters from individuals around the world praising Wu for her accomplishments, asking advice, arranging speaking engagements, discussing administrative matters, and trading research notes, as well as information on publications and other topics. In addition, the collection contains information on Wu's involvement in the development of an affirmative action program at Columbia University in the 1970's.

There are also materials from Donald Dewey's courses: outlines, reading lists, exams, etc.

Records created by faculty involved in EPIC, the organization for emeritus professors at Columbia University. Materials include correspondence, meeting minutes, lectures, events material, oral history releases and related material, membership lists, and a chronology of the group. There are groupings of files created by EPIC heads Sam Devons, Chauncey Olinger and Ene Servit. Sam Devons also left behind files of Advisory Board of Faculty House and University Seminars, which are included in this collection. Records date between 1970s and 2020s, but the bulk of the material dates from the 1990s to the 2010s.
