This series consists of correspondence, narrative reports, memoranda, photographs, organizational records, inspection reports, and manuals documenting administration and accountability for the management of the park. Half of this collection is comprised of safety records. These are primarily reports documenting personal and vehicular accidents within the park, including search and rescue operations, tort claims, legal proceedings, and deaths. In addition to specific accidents, there are records documenting safety initiatives such as evacuation procedures and the use of Crystal Cave as a potential fallout shelter. Also contained within the safety records is information on flooding and fires, including the Buck Bridge flood and reconstruction, flash flooding of the Kern River in 1961, and a 1963 report on Crystal Cave and Wilsonia flooding. Lastly, there is documentation of the discovery of aircraft wreckage in the park.

The second largest grouping features documentation on special events. Some of the events featured are the National Park Service's 50th anniversary celebrations, religious ceremonies by the Church of the Sequoias, and a yearly Christmas tree lighting in Grant Grove. The third largest grouping is correspondence and documentation between the park and outside associations. These illustrate the park's relationship with groups such as the Boy Scouts of America and The Sierra Club. There are also records of programs enacted by Governor Ronald Reagan and President Lyndon B. Johnson to fight poverty through organizations such as the Youth Opportunity Campaign and the Neighborhood Youth Corps.
