There are a few New Year's greeting cards designed by Mary Fuller and Robert McChesney.

Personal correspondence with and about family is grouped together at the beginning of the series. Professional correspondence, which constitutes the bulk of the series, is arranged alphabetically after the family correspondence.

This series is arranged chronologically.

This series includes articles about Robert McChesney and reviews of his artwork, exhibition announcements, catalogs, books, periodicals, news clippings, and other material.

The material in this series is grouped together by document type. Prior to the collection's arrival at the archives, Robert McChesney arranged most of the clippings and reviews about himself and his artwork in loose alphabetical order by title of the publication. This original order was maintained and there are some gaps in the alphabet, such as "G-H" and "T-V" because there were no clippings filed under those letters.

This series consists of 4 scrapbooks of reviews, catalogs, announcements, and photographs related to Robert McChesney's shows and artwork.

This series is arranged chronologically.

This series mostly consists of photographs, slides, and negatives of Robert McChesney and his artwork. There are also photographs of travels, friends, and family, some of which have annotations with identifying information on the verso and others which are completely unlabeled.

The material in this series is grouped together by subject, then arranged chronologically within each grouping.
