A folder on paintings records the Stevenses' ownership of a Rouen Cathedral painting by Claude Monet as well as other works of art they owned. The Stevenses' financial records are organized within Office Files. Several folders contain cards and letters sent to Stevens while he was convalescing after his triple bypass heart surgery in 1981. Carbon copies of Stevens's responses are attached to the correspondence. Material on Stevens's memorial service includes the invitation, attendee lists, guest books, and planning documents.

Stevens's correspondence with his family includes letters from his older brother Larry, Larry's wife Sally, his younger brother Harlow, his daughter Christabel, and his wife Christine. For letters from Stevens to Christine, see the Christine G. Stevens subseries. Family papers also hold business papers and correspondence from his parents Stanley G. and Florence O. Stevens.

Material types include assignments, correspondence, ephemera, and report cards.
