All records are original manuscripts. The School Plans are original water color renditions (elevations and floor plans) of the first twenty schools erected by the Fund. These drawings were apparently based on the original plans of the buildings executed by architects Charles Lewis Hillger and William A. Freret. As a whole the records are particularly useful for documenting the construction and maintenance of this important group of educational buildings.

Additional records include meeting minutes, correspondence, ledgers, and various ofther financial records held by the Board of Commissioners of the Fund.
