Family papers and posthumous documents included in the collection. Series designation is unclear and pending-folders are not marked with Series names, and the chronological arrangement of the papers makes categorization difficult.

These include James Angell and Robert Yerkes of the American Psychological Association, Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, Alexander Graham Bell, E.L. Thorndike, Charles S. Myers, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Herbert Hoover. Respected by psychologists and academics, Bingham encouraged research and discussion regarding the relation between intelligence, vocation, and personality.
