Correspondence 1939-1943 [series]
The Correspondence series, 1939-1943 (0.5 linear feet), contains Guthe's incoming and outgoing professional correspondence from his final years at the University of Michigan. It has been arranged in general alphabetical folders by correspondent, with individual folders for a few of Guthe's regular correspondents, such as James B. Griffin and Eli Lilly. Most of the correspondence relates to Guthe's work as director of the Museum of Anthropology and University Museums.

Journals 1912-1944 [series]
Journals, 1912-1944, (2 linear feet) comprises the journals kept by Guthe and his wife during several of his expeditions. All of the journals were damaged in a house fire in the 1950s. Notes from Guthe that were with the journals indicate that a typed transcript of the journals was created in 1970, but the fate of those transcripts is unknown. An ardent writer, Guthe's journals richly detail the day-to-day experiences, frustrations, and successes of expeditions. Journals from the 1920s are particularly strong. Later journals detail daily life, but not as extensively as the expedition journals.

The first group appears to be a partial alphabetical file of Guthe's correspondence from 1925 to 1938, comprising only the letters A through C.

Additional correspondence can be found in the 1944 accession correspondence series.
