This series is organized into eight subseries: Picture tube and electron gun models; Promotional material and research papers; Design; Production; Buildings and grounds; Gallium arsenide and germanium laser experiments; RCA Picture Tube Division and RCA electronic components and devices.

The Picture tube and electron gun models subseries includes diagrams and images of picture tubes and electron guns. Each diagram has a unique identification number. These images appear to depict developed products.

The Promotional material and research papers subseries is comprised of newspaper articles, short research papers, staged photographs, and various other promotional ephemera. These include images by Jack Moscony for a 1999 article on HDTV, a press release for the Society of Information Display (SID), picture tube product guide images from the 1960s through the 1980s, as well as a few newspaper articles and press releases about color picture tubes in 1983.

The Design subseries depicts television designs from the 1950s to the 1990s. The majority of images show the evolution on the picture tube and electron gun. This includes the shape and appearance as well as the technical changes from black and white to color. A lot of images are cutaways of picture tubes and electron guns to show how the television works. As well as general images there are also a few from the work of individuals including Jack L. Sullivan, Len Smolsky, and M. Cunningham.

The Production series are photographs that document the manufacturing of televisions at the RCA/Thompson factory in Lancaster, Pennsylvania as well as factories in Marion, Indiana, China and Brazil. There are diagrams explaining the American 'Chainless' Conveyor system and how it made picture tube production easier and more efficient. Other images depict the conveyor system in operation on the factory floor. Additionally there is information about a pilot run of color television manufacturing in Marion, Indiana. There are also small transparencies that show the Scranton Blemish Gauge and Convergence Gauges. Another set of images depicts assembly and inspection of picture tubes (televisions). Also, a set of slides follows the manufacturing process of a picture tube including the metalized bead suppressor, heating, cathodes, washing and drying of parts, shadow mask manufacturing, and shipping.

The Buildings and grounds subseries depicts external and internal images of the Lancaster buildings. The images include construction of the building, external photographs of the complete building, and a photograph of employees getting lunch in the cafeteria in the 1960s.

The Gallium arsenide and germanium laser experiments subseries predominantly contains graphs and charts measuring visibility and reflectivity. They show Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) Diode Emissions, Tunnel Assisted Emissions, and levels of emission and absorption under the Fermi Level. The Germanium experiments show the Reflectivity of Pure Germanium as well as Arsenic Doped and Tin Doped Germanium.

The RCA Picture Tube Division subseries consists of presentation slides of graphs and charts related to color television, picture screen dimensions, in-line guns, CRT guns, and screen evolution. There are also presentations slides from four technical seminars about 19VGZP22, RCA Precision In-line System, and two about COTY-29

RCA electronic components and devices subseries contain slides related to management policies. The images are of lab facilities in Lancaster, Indianapolis and manufacturing at Yam II Scranton and other unidentified locations.
