The manner in which the WSPE has pursued its objectives can be traced through an investigation of this collection - particularly the Board of Directors' Minutes, 1943-1957 (Box 1, folders 3-6) and the WSPE General File, 1943-1956 (Box 8, folders 61-69).
It is also possible for the researcher to explore the relationship between the WSPE and the National Society of Professional Engineers through a perusal of the NSPE General File, 1943-1958 (Boxes 4 & 5, folders 24-35). In addition it is possible to investigate the internal functioning of the WSPE by using the various committee reports, meeting data, and officers' correspondence contained in the collection.
Finally, perhaps the most interesting material found in this collection is that which deals with the WSPE's campaign for the registration of all qualified engineers in the state. Most of this material can be found in Box 7 under the folder headings of Registration Board, Registration Law Committee, Registration Promotion Committee, and Surveyors Registration Law Committee.
