The Roscoe Eckelberry Research on the Muskingum Watershed Conservatory contains research materials of Eckelberry, a professor in the Bureau of Educational Research at Ohio State University, which was gathered into a draft for a book he planned to name "The History of the Muskingham Watershed Conservancy District." The research focuses on the history of the Muskingum Watershed Conservatory, and includes many original or copies of publications produced by the District or its Board of Trustees, including pamphlets, brochures, a lodge dedication invitation, annual reports, plans, and other official documents. The collection contains correspondence, documents related to the Ohio State University Natural Resources Institute, copies of bills and resolutions regarding the District, and annotated drafts of The History of the Muskingham Watershed Conservancy District," separated by chapters. The collection also contains interviews Eckelberry had with individuals involved with the District, recorded on phonograph records.
