The Brian Fargo papers are a compilation of personal and professional papers, including materials from Fargo’s time at Boone and Interplay. This collection contains game development documentation, correspondence, legal papers, financial documents, marketing materials, photographs, floppy disks, external game proposals, notes, and more. The bulk of the materials are dated between 1985 and 2000. Additional scope and content information can be found in the Contents List section of this finding aid.

The Brian Fargo papers have been arranged into two series, both of which have been further divided into subseries. The materials are housed in eight archival document boxes and one oversized folder.
