Correspondence, journals, reports, draft and published writings, scientific papers, printed matter, and photographs particularly relating to Ridenour's efforts to familiarize scientists, engineers, and the public with science policy issues stemming from the use of nuclear energy and computers through his books and articles in professional journals and general interest magazines.
