The Wofford B. Camp Papers primarily document his activities as a farmer, leader in developing American agriculture, a proponent of conservative ideals, and civic leader.

The Papers document a major transformation in agriculture in the United States with the development of large-scale agri-business in California's interior valleys. These have come to be one of the major areas of intensive agriculture in the United States with California now leading the nation in agriculture. Wofford Camp was one of the major leaders of this development during the Twentieth Century. The papers reflect Camp's activities as a proponent of agriculture while working for the Department of Agriculture and later as a farmer and businessman. The papers specifically document the development of agriculture in the San Joaquin Valley. There is considerable information on the state and national level related to the subjects of the standardization and marketing of agricultural products, water policy and irrigation, farm labor and the right-to-work, and the relationship of agriculture to the rest of American society. There are records, sometimes considerable, related to the organizations in which Camp participated such as the Chamber of Commerce. The scrapbooks and a number of folders contain biographical information about Wofford Camp.
