Fonds consists of records created or accumulated by John Kentfield in the course of his career. The majority of the records are research projects and publications (correspondence, background research, articles, reviews, typescript and handwritten notes, calculations, test results, conference presentations, research grants and patents). The fonds also includes teaching materials (course notes, readings and handouts, diagrams and calculations, assignments and exams.

Kentfield's areas of research included: wind turbines and wind energy, combustion engines, aircraft with outboard horizontal stabilizers (OHS), thermal dynamics, Stirling engines, and pulsed combusters.

Fonds consists of records created by Dr. Peter G. Glockner during his employment at the University of Calgary. Records include course files, faculty administrative materials, conference and presentation materials, along with reports and articles written by Glockner, research projects, and grants and funding he received. As well, there are files related to external organizations and committees he was involved with, records from his consulting firm, PG Consulting Services, and personal files primarily dealing with family history research. The material is primarily concentrated on engineering, focused on Glockner's interest in symmetry, dielectrics, ice domes, and especially shell theory.

Fonds consists of miscellaneous archival material including: newspaper clippings of puzzles and other items relating to recreational mathematics, mainly in Dutch (Acc 2080); Martin Gardner's Mathematical games column from Scientific American, December 1956-September 1974 (Acc 2120); various supplementary catalogues and mailings from Mathematisch Centrum, 1949-1964 (Acc 2123); a partial descriptive catalogue of the Eugene Strens Recreational Mathematics book collection on 4x6 cards and miscellaneous items removed from the books and journals in the collection (Acc 2188-2189); and an album of photographs and text from the Eugène Strens Memorial Conference on Intuitive and Recreational Mathematics and Its History, July 27 - August 2, 1986, University of Calgary, Calgary, Alberta (Acc 2774).
