Subjects include: colleges, universities, primary and secondary schools, teachers, and educational organizations. Most of the materials are printed, however there are also many original manuscript materials, including school assignments and records of organizations, such as the minutes of the Parent Teacher Association of Portland's Failing School, 1944-1950. Also among the original manuscript materials are class assignments by Oscar Beck, a student at the University of Oregon in the early 20th century. Also included are a number of school registers, with lists of students and grades, most notably from Portland Public Schools in the early 20th century. Scrapbooks from students at the University of Oregon and Portland's Washington High School in the 1900s and 1910s include photographs, dance cards, invitations, and diverse ephemera. Two of these were created by John C. Veatch in the early 1900s.
