Boxes 41-47 contain Olpin's teaching materials that were originally in binders. The contents have been taken out of the binders and given a numbering system to distinguish them from each other. For example, box 41, folders 1-2, are from binder #1, as indicated on the folders. These materials may also include other schooling or miscellaneous papers but remain grouped with their respective binders to maintain original order.

Boxes 52-61 contain materials similar to some other teaching files and thus have been grouped with them. However, these may also be materials gathered by Olpin for background research or reference for his books. Or, he could have used them for both purposes. It is unclear exactly what they should be titled. Also, Olpin seemed to organize these files in a rough alphabetical order (see post-its on materials). This order has been maintained.
