The collection consists of material created and collected by Dr. John Bindernagel as part of his research into the Sasquatch. A large part of the material is not original, but was collected by or given to him throughout the course of his career. The collection consists predominantly of four separate components. Some of the plaster casts that are unidentified in the photos are the same casts that have been donated. Although it is possible to speculate that the photographs were taken by Bindernagel, this is not confirmed.
The textual material contains eyewitness drawings and historical accounts of the Sasquatch as well as published material by John Green.
There are a many number of photographs, almost all of which have no identifying information provided on them. Many of the photos are of footprints and plaster casts which were taken by Bindernagel in British Columbia; but others have unknown provenance. There are some oversize laminated prints which are duplicates of those of footprints taken by Bindernagel on Vancouver Island. Additionally, there are some laminated prints of stills from the Patterson-Gimlin film of 1967.
The audiovisual material includes radio and television shows where Bindernagel was interviewed. There are also recordings made by Bindernagel that consist of unidentified noises on tape, some presentations he gave, as well as an interview with a couple recounting a possible Sasquatch encounter in British Columbia. Other audiovisual material includes other radio interviews, a copy of the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film, and material created by other organizations. This material has not yet been digitized and therefore access is restricted until then.
Finally, there are 21 plaster casts of footprints. Tracks 1-6 were created by Bindernagel on Vancouver Island in 1988 and 1993; tracks 7-11 were not created by Bindernagel, but include information such as date, location and name of creator; tracks 12-21 are plaster casts that have no known provenance; however, some of these may be copies of those held by Idaho State University.
