content: This series contains video recordings that are neither Wiegand's artworks or personal recordings, but other types of recordings he produced, as well as a few tapes made both others found with his papers. Categories of recordings in the series are industry productions, independent projects, performance documentation, work samples, and works by others.

Industry productions are mainly educational and training videos made for companies such as IBM, Dynalloy Company, DJR Associates, and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.  Also found is a tape made for the New York State Higher Education Opportunity Program called The Sentence II. Wiegand's process involved using low quality video equipment to storyboard and write scripts in the pre-production phase, and these tapes are found among the finished projects, along with occasional paper documentation.

Independent projects include unedited footage, excerpts, and finished programs that Wiegand created for small organizations and individuals.  Notable projects includeBob Towbin's B-Day Special, a home-movie-artwork hybrid video created by Ingrid and Robert for Bob Towbin's 35th birthday, The Night Before The Night Before Christmas, a project produced by Wiegand that aired on DCTV, an Arts Mag episode produced by Ingrid Wiegand, and clips of Angelique Martin's talk show, edited by Robert Wiegand. Wiegand also shot, edited and produced Pamela Stockwell's reenactment of the Tompkins Square Riot. All the unedited footage of the reenactment, in addition to the finished edited piece, are in this series. The printed materials series contains paper documentation related to a few of these videos.

Performance documentation contains video of performing artists Trisha Brown, Leonard Horowitz, Carolee Schneeman, and Laura Foreman, among others, and four compilation tapes of performances Wiegand shot. Trisha Brown's Line-Up performance also includes an interview with her. Eight hours of raw footage of performances at the East Village performance club, ABC No Rio, are also found. 

Work samples include compilation clips of Wiegand's works. They were used for teaching and soliciting production work. The first two videos are components of a single work, video and narration, yet neither of them are an edit master. Works by others include two tapes that are tools Wiegand may have used in the creation of his videos, a calibration tape and a sales tape for a video title making tool. Eyes on the Prize is an off-air taping of the well-known documentary.
