The minute album for 1894-1895 with a calligraphic title page, designed to mark the decennial of the club in 1894, was created for and by the Committee chair, Edwin B. Holden. The records of curator Ruth Fine for the exhibition "Printers' Choice" (1979) include substantial correspondence with a number of private press printers active in the 1970s while the records for the Sinclair Lewis centenary exhibition and symposium (1985) include the notes of the organizer, Club member Daniel D. Chabris. Substantial portions of the records for the 1990s come from the file of Martin Hutner, Committee chair. These records primarily concern exhibition proposals, funding, transport, and openings of the exhibitions. The material for the exhibition, "The Art of Publishers' Bindings" (2000) does contain drafts of exhibition copy and a computer disk created by collector and curator Ellen K. Morris.
