The Richard Sites papers, which range in date from 1967 to 1997, consist of materials that Sites collected during his career as a computer architect, software engineer, and professor of computer science. Materials include manuals and reference guides, newspaper and magazine clippings, periodicals, and newsletters. The papers also hold some marketing materials, correspondence, memos, and internal reports from DEC and IBM, as well as a small amount of audiovisual materials. While the majority of the collection pertains to Sites' work on the Alpha architecture and other projects that Sites worked on at DEC during the late 1980s and early 1990s, materials from his early career are also found throughout the collection.
