The McClintic Collection contains slightly more than one cubic foot of material, dating 1910-1947, which provides some documentation of the man's elective and administrative career, as well as his family. Arrangement is chronological by office held. For his time in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, there is 1911 correspondence concerning state politics and a school land bill for Hobart, Oklahoma, as well as legislation to require health certificates mandatory prior to marriage. Approximately 0.33 cubic feet of correspondence, newspapers clippings, speeches, and flyers cover McClintic's congressional years. These include campaign materials (1918, 1932, 1934, 1941, and 1946) and subject files (primarily for aviation and bank deposit guarantee legislation). Of interest also are a journal and other documents written during a 1925 naval tour of the South Pacific.

There is a small amount of clippings and correspondence covering his years as Kiowa County clerk, state senator, executive assistant to Governor Marland, and federal administrator. Nothing exists for McClintic's years as a merchant or Snyder city clerk. Other items include typescripts of "Washington-Here and There" articles (mainly critiques of the Oklahoma delegation to Congress, 1936-1938), an account of a 1919 trip to Germany; short biographical sketches and obituaries; and miscellaneous family and genealogical documents.

The McClintic Collection is slightly more than 1 linear foot of material, but it covers four decades in Oklahoma history. With correspondence, clippings, speeches, campaign materials, and subject files from a variety of different elected offices, McClintic’s collection provides an unique, abbreviate glance at the life of an elected official from Oklahoma. Of particular note are McClintic’s accounts about the trips he took as a congressman, including a trip in 1919 to post-war Europe and a 1925 naval tour of the South Pacific.
