The papers pertain chiefly to Ewing's involvement with two specific projects: the Rivera Ocean Seismic Experiment (ROSE), and the Large Aperture Seismic Experiment (LASE). There are also two folders containing correspondence, including a letter from Ewing to Allyn Vine describing his first months in Woods Hole.

Materials contain correspondence, notes and memoranda, logs, cruise prospectus and reports, data, newspaper clippings, schedules and plans, proposals, telegrams, and reprints. The information documents Ewing's involvement with the ROSE and the LASE projects, for which Ewing served as committee chairman and principal investigator, respectively. The "Draft notes about the ROSE program" file may have been used for a talk, and another file provides information about the early stages of ROSE (ff. 5, 3). There is also material dealing with getting permission to use waters off of Mexico for the ROSE project (f. 9).
