Baitsell papers consist of one linear foot of correspondence, experimental records, and miscellaneous papers related to Baitsell's professional activities between 1917 and 1927.

Box 3 contains papers related to research projects supported by the U.S. Army Chemical Warfare Service (1917-1919) and the National Tuberculosis Association (1924-1925).
