Baily devoted his career to radiological physics and engineering, focusing on medical imaging, experimental and theoretical work in dosimetry, and therapeutic uses of radiology. He was also a teacher, consultant, and expert medical and legal witness. He helped found the Southern California Chapter of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine and was an associate editor of Medical Physics from its founding in 1976 until his death.
Although the papers span 1947-1992, the bulk of the collection was created in the 1980s. The collection is comprised of memos and correspondence relating largely to his extensive activities in medical physics organizations and his editorial work for Medical Physics, lecture notes for his teaching at UCSD, and drafts and reprints. The collection is arranged in six series: 1. Biographical, 2. Correspondence, 3. Writings and Research, 4. Teaching, 5. Organizations, and 6. Consulting.
