Series III. Journals and working notes, 1960-2009 8.42 Linear Feet (13 boxes, 1 flatfile folder)
Series III contains the notes, reflections, and daily materials that Herms refers to as comprising a snapshot of his brain. Often there are handmade calendars, astrological charts, and poetry. Some journals pertain to a specific project and may therefore overlap with Series IV. Project and exhibition files. Phone numbers, business appointments, and grocery lists appear in this series when found in combination with drawings or other artistic content, while exclusively mundane materials are more likely filed under Series X. Personal.
Arrangement
Arranged in chronological order by year. Where the artist was not able to assign a specific year, he indicated the decade, as, for example, 1960s, or sometimes mid-1960s, or late-1960s. These files are grouped at the beginning of a given decade.

Series IV. Project and exhibition files, 1958-2001, undated 56.1 Linear Feet (55 boxes, 38 flatfile folders)
This series documents the artwork that Herms has produced for some fifty years. It contains files for projects such as public sculptures, as well as individual works on paper, photographs of work or work series, photographs of exhibitions, object lists and arrangements for exhibitions, photographs by Herms and occasionally of Herms, where the piece in question is part of a collaborative project with a photographer, such as James Fee. There is some overlap between this series and Series III. Journals, which may also contains notes and sketches for art projects. Series VI. Tap City Circus and Series VII. Love Press, also contain project files, and Series IV. inevitably contains Love Press material. The judgement as to where a given file should be categorized has been largely the artist's decision.
Arrangement
This series is arranged in chronological order. Herms often supplied the date of a given work or suggested a decade, such as the 1960s, or the late 1960s. These files are placed at the beginning of each decade, that is, preceding a specific date, such as 1962. Within each annual date, materials have been arranged in the following sequence: photo-based artwork, photographs of artwork, poetry, assorted/mixed media. Note that not every year contains material in each of these categories. Files from 1958 to 1980 have been cataloged in greater detail. Nearly half of the project files contain color photographs, negatives, or otherwise sensitive materials stored separately from the paper-based portion of the archive. Oversize boxes and flat file folders hold artwork such as collages, silkscreen prints, drawings, and paintings. Most of these large works are undated.

Series VI. Tap City Circus, 1960-2002, undated 0.42 Linear Feet (1 box, 1 flatfile folder)
This series contains material, often produced by Herm's Love Press, that Herms used in his nearly annual fundraising events. Essentially auctions, or raffles, to help sustain the artist and his family, these were invitation events where Herms would sell common household items along with art work, often to the accompaniment of music, and in general festivity. The name of the event evolved over time in continuous word play, from raffle to roofle, baffle, rawful, ruffle, earful, and eyeful. The series contains silkscreened or handprinted invitations, announcements, tickets, and other ephemera, along with photographs.
