content: Photographs, clippings, exhibition announcements, and catalogs concern Ott's work done for the Illinois Federal Art Project, the Chicago Federal Art Project, and the Treasury Department competitive design program, and designs for unrealized murals for the United States Postal Service. Also found are works done outside of the Works Progress Administration. Photographs of works by others include works by Freeman Schoolcraft, Miss Kaufman, and Felix Schlag. 

Other works by Ott include designs for murals intended for a school library, directional signs featuring animal figures, and post office murals which were not accepted due to Ott's interpretation of already produced stamps. Also found are a biographical sketch, catalogs, clippings, reproductions of works of art, and photographs of Ott, his family, and works of art which represent his later life and career after the Federal Art Projects.
