Leonard Adams's papers provide insight into the inner-workings of a Government Documents Repository and convey, even in their brevity, the nature of the work of a Government Documents librarian. Included among the papers are professional correspondence, a Government Documents Technical Processing Manual and articles written by Adams, Adams's annual reports and performance reviews, and other documents relating to Adams's long tenure at the University Libraries. In 2005, Adams hosted a group of library interns from Kosovo at UMass Amherst; memos and photographs document their time at UMass, including a presentation given at the UMass Libraries in October of that year.
