This collection is arranged chronologically, and further arranged alphabetically by title on the recording when multiple items share the same date. Some cassettes have two different topics on them. Additionally, researchers should note that some topics are covered in 'parts' across multiple recordings; in some cases, the additional 'part' of a topic may be found on a cassette with an unrelated topic, and may be the second or third recording on the cassette. Where this occurs, the cassette is found in the container list by the title of the first recording on the cassette, and not immediately preceding or following the other parts of the that recording.

An unprocessed addition (listed as Accession No. RARE.2019.0091) follows the processed portion of the collection; the unprocessed addition is arranged in the order received.

Algren was a person of interest for the Federal Bureau of Investigation for possible communist political views during the 1950s. Algren continued to write up until his death in 1981.
