The Stanley Learned Collection includes twenty-six scrapbooks which document Learned's leadership of the Phillips Petroleum Company of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The scrapbooks, which date from 1951 to 1968, consist largely of captioned photographs, clippings, travel itineraries, souvenir programs, annual reports of the Phillips Petroleum Company, certificates of appointments and awards, and congratulatory letters and telegrams regarding Learned's promotions to president and to chief executive officer of the company. Included are texts of speeches given by Learned and records of Learned's board memberships and service to the University of Kansas, the Bartlesville Chamber of Commerce, and the National Safety Council. Photographs and memorabilia from annual dinners of the Petroleum Industry's 25-Year Club are included, as are those from Learned's attendance at meetings of the Conquistadores del Cielo (Conquerors of the Sky), a national organization of aviation executives. The scrapbooks include many photographs of Learned's wife Mary Helms Learned. The scrapbooks are at RH MS R172, arranged chronologically in fourteen oversize boxes.

At RH MS 831 are three additional scrapbooks of Learned's career photographs; a personalized first-family photograph album from U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson; several works authored by Learned (including his two University of Kansas theses); souvenir booklets from his membership in the Conquistadores del Cielo, two published articles by his brother, Edmund Philip Learned; certificates of honors awarded Stanley Learned by the University of Kansas; a souvenir medallion from a Phillips Petroleum Company-sponsored event in Rome with the Società Petrolifera Italiana; and a souvenir medallion from the University of Kansas centennial celebration.
