The collection primarily consists of three types of records: parish records, diocesan records, and books. Parish records include parish registers; Sunday Schools books; registers of services; minutes of vestry meetings; Guild and other societies records; and account books of one kind or another from a number of churches in Arkansas, many of them now defunct.

Diocesan records include the journals of the Annual Conferences from 1871 to 1939; records of the Annual Convocation of the Colored Churchmen and Churchwomen from 1935 to 1946; records of the Standing Committee of the Diocese from 1880 to 1942; baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and burials performed by Bishop James R. Winchester; register of Bishop William M. Brown; and diaries of Bishop Mitchell for his entire episcopate, 1938-1956. Books include journals of the Conventions of the Bishops, Clergy, and Laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States; a history of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States; and the 1928 edition of the Book of Common Prayer.
