content: Personal business records are divided into general, activity, and commission files.

General files consist of a card file of designs, a job notebook that includes project information and inventory kept at Christensen's home, price lists, sales records, and vendor files.

Activity files contain files for exhibitions in Rochester, Denmark, and Mexico; travel; and chronological files that contain records that mainly relate to exhibitions, but also include requests to publish photographs of Christensen's work, requests for photographs of artwork, correspondence regarding projects, printed material, and some teaching records that may overlap with material within the teaching files series.

Commission files contain templates, sketches, and some correspondence and printed material. The files retain the devised titles created by Christensen. Some of the titles include the name of the client while most titles only state the type of design. Some of the clients are the Eastman House, Friends of the Rochester Public Library, Gannett Gold, Nathaniel Rochester Society, RIT, Women's Council, Xerox, and several churches. Other sketches for commissions may be found in the artwork series.
