The San José State University Black Alliance of Scientists and Engineers Collection documents the history of the organization over a 40-year period. The Black Alliance of Scientists and Engineers (BASE) at San José State University is a chapter organization of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE).

This collection is split into two boxes. Box 1 contains framed awards, t-shirts, a jacket, a bound copy of the organization constitution and by-laws,... a folder containing administrative records like expense records and membership applications, a folder containing photographs (mostly 4 x 6 in), and a folder containing unframed awards and certificates. Box 2 contains film slides, including film slides from the 2nd National NSBE Convention in Los Angeles in April of 1976. There is also a separate folder that contains oversized posters from BASE's annual Diversity Career Fair. The date range of this collection is 1976 to 2019, but most of this collection is post-2000.
