The collection on Egon Weiner, 197-1987 and undated, consists primarily of articles by or about Egon Weiner, along with press releases and promotional materials about exhibitions. It has been organized into five series: Personal, Correspondence, Writings, Publicity, and Photographs.

The Personal series contains biographical information, awards and citations, and obituaries and memorial information about Egon Weiner.

The Writings series consists of both published and unpublished articles and essays written by Weiner.

The Publicity series contains articles written about Weiner in various publications, press releases from Augustana College, posters, and programs and pamphlets that include examples of Weiner's work.
