This collection includes framed and unframed posters, event advertisements, and administrative concession records from Bailey Hall during its active programming years in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Items include promotional posters for guest performances such as the Philadelphia Boys Choir, the Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats, and illusionist James Randi, as well as concession documentation for Fiscal Year 2003 (FY03). Together, these materials highlight the hall's diverse programming and role as a cornerstone of both academic life and public culture at Broward College.

This collection contains historical booklets and tourist material about Merseyside and Liverpool, England, as well as more general English tourist information. These items tie to Barbara Boyett Rutenkroger's English childhood during World War II. Other materials pertain to life on Misawa Air Base in the 1960s and the Boyetts' experience while stationed there. These include contemporary newspapers like the Pacific Stars and Stripes and the Misawa base's newspaper Wing Span, pamphlets about the base, and Lloyd K. Boyett's Certificate of Service for 2 ½ years serving on the 1953rd Communications Squadron. Japanese tourist material from the 1960s is included too. Additionally, this collection contains examples of Japanese folk art that Barbara Boyett Rutenkroger seems to have acquired in the 1960s while living at Misawa. These include three Yawata-Uma horse figurines, a set of three carved and painted wooden plates, a carved wooden tablet, a painting, and a piece that appears to have been created by painting a carved sheet of rubber.
