The records of the Thirty-second Division, 107th Engineer Regiment is arranged in three categories: History of the 107th, Military Records, and Miscellany. The History of the 107th contains several histories and diaries of the individual battalions and companies from 1917 to 1919, as well as a manuscript history entitled “107th Engineer Regiment” by Charles Scudder. The Military Records document fully the daily military operations of the regiment during its significant campaigns in France and Germany in the war. They include blueprints of the structures the regiment built during World War I.
The Miscellany file contains a few letters received by Captain Charles Scudder of the 107th Engineers, and related material pertaining to his attempts to gather information on the regiment for his written history of the 107th. Also included here is some organizational material of the Association of the 107th Engineers and correspondence concerning the whereabouts of certain members of the unit through 1960.
Visual materials include photographs, negatives, cartoons, and ephemera, dating 1917-1919, relating to the war time activities of the 107th Engineering Regiment of the 32nd Division in World War I.
