This collection consists of two signed event programs made out to Sheila D. Johnston. One, signed by VT alum and NASA administrator Christopher Kraft, is for the opening of the Christopher C. Kraft, Jr. Collection at Virginia Tech Special Collections in Newman Library in 1986. The other is the Virginia Tech 114th Annual Commencement program, signed by astronaut Neil Armstrong, who spoke at the ceremony in 1986.

The Christopher C. Kraft Papers consists of approximately 28 cu. ft. of manuscripts, particularly NACA and NASA reports and documents, meeting notes and agendas, and research materials. A later donation contains the manuscript for 2001 Kraft's autobiography. Kraft (1924-2019) graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) in 1944 and went on to become NASA's first flight director and the director of the Johnson Space Center.

This collection consists of a letter from Christopher Kraft in Connecticut to Elizabeth Plank in Blacksburg, Virginia. The envelope is stamped with the date of January 10, 1945. In the letter, Kraft reflects upon his time in Blacksburg and some of his thoughts of Connecticut.
