The William H. Sherzer papers include a bibliography of nature study materials, biographical and family history, clippings, correspondence, Dr. Sherzer Hour, memorial writings, photographs, publications both personal and resource, and the Teachers Excursion to Yellowstone National Park. The collection is arranged alphabetically. Records date from 1885-1968. The collection is not a complete record one would expect from teaching faculty, with little in the collection documenting his teaching, student advising, or scholarship.
