Of note in this series are glass slides and x-rays of subjects ranging from tissue samples to bone case studies. Also included are pictures of 1932 flood of Johnstown, presumably taken by Dr. Wagoner. One folder containing a "Treatment of Giant Cell Tumor" chart is stored separately in flat file.

Series II: Papers series contains of George Wagoner’s personal papers. This series includes translations Dr. Wagoner wrote for international colleagues so that their papers might be published in journals written in English. Of particular interest are United States Department of Agriculture Weather Bureau Meteorological reports used by Dr. Wagoner to research the relationship between climate and the poliomyelitis epidemic. Another important part of this series is a letter and certificate to Dr. Wagoner from President Franklin D. Roosevelt for his work with the Orthopedic Council. Other presidential materials consist of a program and related papers from a dinner with The Medical Club of Philadelphia with President Taft.

Series III: Publications series houses academic articles written by Dr. Wagoner, which span the years of 1923 to 1939. These papers deal largely with the study of various bone diseases. Of note are papers relating to the article “Giant Cell Tumor on Radius,” which include paper research, original photographs, and correspondence about the paper. Additionally, four folders house assorted reprints of Dr. Wagoner’s published articles, dating from 1923 to 1939.
