This collection contains some awards given and received by the Chamber; pictures and slides of Knoxville and individual buildings and persons in the city; movie reels made for the Chamber about the city and the surrounding area; tax and salary records of the Chamber and Knoxville businesses; local publications collected by the Chamber relating mainly to industrial topics; papers relating to the American Enka Corporation; and the Chamber's involvement in the World's Fair in general and more specifically, papers relating to the World's Fair Lodging Services Referral Program.

The 13 boxes are accompanied by oversized awards, framed pictures, reels, ledgers, slide boxes, and a flag of the United States.

The portion of a box devoted tot he American Enka papers is of a particular interest because these papers date earlier than the other materials included in the Chamber of Commerce collection. Apparently, subscriptions were sold to local businesses to support the construction of the American Enka Corporation in Knoxville. The related subscription lists, bank books, correspondence, receipt books, and resolutions are included.
