New Mexico state government related documents include: land and soil conservation materials; state Taxpayers Association documents; and local Republican party items.
Series II contains mainly documents from the files of Campbell's New Mexican land managers. Land management papers include: correspondence between Campbell and his managers; reports and correspondence on land, livestock, crops, and the myriad other issues that concern a ranch manager; documents concerning Campbell and his one time agricultural partner John J. Raskob are also included in this series.
Series III focuses on Campbell's oil, mineral and geology interests. This series includes mining, oil and gas leases; oil, mineral and geology reports; some New Mexico property leases; and Rancher Exploration & Development Corporation documents.
