Unique items in the Glen and Connie Wells Papers include a collection of several scrapbooks, mostly related to Glen and Connie Wells' time as Chautauqua performers. One scrapbook is primarily photographs circa 1915, while another consists of press clippings and reviews of performances the Wells took part in. An atlas belonging to Connie Wells has markings to indicate the towns in which she performed from 1915-1950.

Also included is a hand-bound typed memoir titled Walk Fast and Smile written by the pair. It includes photographs pasted onto the verso of the typed pages as well as correspondence, handwritten notes, and clippings.

Manuscript materials include scripts and items that would have been read during Chautauqua events, radio scripts, and publicity photos of Glen and Connie Wells.
