The volume includes press releases, correspondence, publicity, guidelines, registration form, draft itineraries, news articles, event programs, photographs, a proclamation from the Mayor of Omaha, and a copy of JMA's certificate of honorary membership to Sam Fried. Some of the documents are original and some are reproductions. 1.5-inch-thick expanding two-post binder with black fabric cover and title page created by Sam Fried.
