The collection consists of testimonial letters upon Jardine's retirement in 1955, but also includes speeches, technical articles, and news clippings relating to Jardine's career, the aluminum industry and its role in automobile manufacturing, technological developments in the industry, and Cleveland's contributions to that industry.
