The collection contains the personal and professional papers of Ray L. Brogley, Sr., primarily related to his involvement with the Veterans of World War I in the U.S.A. and and to his work as an engineer with the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Little Rock District.

Materials include correspondence, convention materials, meeting minutes, photographs, newspaper clippings, publications, and employment records.

The work is arranged in roughly chronological order, more of a chatty narrative than a straight chronology of Greer's life and work. Includes references to his college days, when he boarded at the Liebolt house and worked for Linebarger at Bella Vista, rural life in his childhood and later, and his experiences as an engineer in many parts of the world.

Apparently there has been some revision. A few interleaved sheets contain either illustrations or notations of missing pages.
