Publications consist of one paper, “Relation of Birds to Certain Power Transmission Lines in Central North Dakota” from November 1979. Recruitment consists of information on graduate study in botany/biology from 1979, and an open house in the department from 1982.

Publications include three holiday newsletters (1950, 1951, 1978), and Chem-News from 1994-2004 [gaps]. Recruitment consists of two chemistry open houses from 1929 and 1930; and graduate recruitment materials from the later 1960s through 2002.
Clinical Laboratory Science Department records consist of three folders of informational/recruitment type of brochures from 1969 – 2001.
Computer Science Department Series records consist of three folders, primarily dealing with recruitment information and a press release announcing reaccreditation from 1998.
Geosciences Department Series records consists of a history of the department mission statement as of 2003, program review for 1987-1994, flyer on course for the spring of 1998, and a recruitment type brochure from 2001.
Mathematics Department Series records consists of five folders, one dealing with a mathematics science consulting center (1978), a report from the Bush Foundation regarding a grant (1986), the program of the 1991 American Mathematics Society Meeting that was held at NDSU, Fact sheets from 1989 and 1995, and the lecture note series #1, c. 1995.

Willard D. Pye, Papers Series is an artificially created record group. Dr. Pye's files were discovered in 2000 in a file cabinet of his successor, Dr. Warren Kress. As to the "what and where" for Dr. Pye after he left North Dakota Agricultural College, an internet search proved to be inconclusive. The papers in essence are subject files that Dr. Pye maintained and they have been broken into four sub-series: Dr. Pye's correspondence (1949-1956); Department of Geology and Geography related, including budgets (1947-1954), curriculum (1947-1953), initial discussion and eventual discontinuance of the geology major (1950-1954), general departmental matters (1947-1954), and Forum articles (1951, 1953); School of Applied Arts and Sciences related, which consists primarily of advisor registration manuals (1949-1950, 1956) and Departmental Chair meetings/memos (1950-1954); and North Dakota Agricultural College related, including committee work (1948-1953), college memos (1947-1954), and college council minutes (1950-1954).
