Box 1
Biographical material includes records of Herbert's many business contacts in two address books, business cards, and notes; seven annotated daybooks, wall calendars, and several calendar pages; Herbert's yearbooks, commencement programs, and diplomas from Syracuse University and Wyoming Seminary; transcripts from Syracuse University; and two copies of the "yearbook" for Herbert's 42nd Naval Construction Battalion.
Family and legal records include Herbert's birth certificate; Herbert's August 1954 legal petition to remove "Schmerer" from his name; and notes on, and an appraisal of, Sarah Schmerer's assets, a draft of her will, and her death certificate. Naval and veteran records include records of Herbert's service, honorable discharge, and benefits from the United States Navy, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Twelve pages, apparently removed from a scrapbook, contain news clippings documenting a 1965 exhibition arranged by Herbert, and obituaries; a clipping and a related letter of a Wyoming Seminary class reunion in 1993; and photographs of unidentified artwork.
A collection of records from Herbert's service in Japan includes disembarkation orders, menus and programs of events, and Christmas cards made by Herbert. Photographs from this period can be found in Series 9: Photographs.
Sketches include seven unidentified sketches, including two for a room design; and a caricature of Herbert by an unidentified artist.
