The scrapbooks primarily document Sloane's experiences in numerous positions throughout New York State and his work for the United States State Department Agency for International Development (AID). The remainder of the collection documents Sloane's work experience in public safety in Vietnam. Many photographs and documents reveal events surrounding public safety training and recognition ceremonies. More specifically, numerous photographs relate to United States Operations Mission (USOM), Vietnam, the Joint United States Public Affairs Office (JUSPAO), and dinner receptions.
