The collection consists of five boxes of paper and photographs that document Koburger's writing and research career from 1983 to 2008. The papers are divided into six series: Correspondence, subject files, published writings, unpublished writings, photographs and miscellaneous materials.

Series I, correspondence, contains letters mainly to and from journals regarding articles considered for publication. Several letters are to companies requesting permission to use photographs in some ofKoburger's works. The letters are arranged chronologically.

The second series consists of subject files relating to Koburger's various articles and histories that he wrote in the 1980s through the 2000s. Much of these documents are photocopies of articles, primary source material, maps, press releases, pamphlets and a few books.

Series III, published works, is made up of just a few pieces ofKoburger's published works. Included are segments of Central Powers in the Adriatic: 1914-1918, a complete manuscript copy of Rum and Raki: War in the Eastern Adriatic 1939-1945, as well as a copy of the article "The ShaefSyndrome: The Soviet Navy's Impact on NATO."
