The Henry C. Runkel Apollo Collection is a small collection with visual and textual materials documenting the development of the Saturn launch vehicles used in NASA's Apollo program in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The collection consists of items gathered by Runkel who was Boeing's Chief Engineer for the S-1C stage of the Saturn V rocket at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Of most interest is a bound document titled "Apollo Saturn V S-1C Booster Design and Development" which is a paper written and presented by Runkel at the Fourth National Design Conference on Engineering Design and Design Education at Dartmouth Collection in 1967. The document includes about 35 pages of text followed by about 50 pages of images and diagrams. There are also two 3-ring binders which hold 78 photographic prints and 17 transparencies depicting construction of the S-1C stage, the facilities at Michoud, other unidentified projects, and some launch tests. A few diagrams and reproductions of conceptual art of the Saturn V rocket are among the images as well. The prints and transparencies are all 8x10 inches and are a mix of color and black-and-white. Most are not labed or captioned. Many appear to be official Boeing Company images but some might be official NASA images.

The collection also includes photographic collages and posters depicting Saturn rocket launches for Apollo 4 and possibly other missions; a poster titled "Saturn V Apollo Lunar Orbital Rendezvous Mode;" photocopied notes about Apollo 11; an undated brochure titled "Boeing and the moon Rocket;" a paper placemat from 1966 with space facts. There is also an 8x10 inch color photomechanical print of a B-52 (tail # 80182) releasing ALCM along with a memo dated July 1977 regarding ALCM.
