The scrapbooks date from 1963 to 1985 and document the activities of the Polish Heritage Society through newspaper clippings, photographs, event fliers and other ephemera. The newspaper clippings cover both local events and mentions of Poland or Polish people in local newspapers or magazines. The collection also contains some items related to the Dutch Immigrant Society, as the two groups worked together on events for the nation's bicentennial in 1976.

Items that were loose in the scrapbooks or that came with the scrapbooks, such as photographs or papers, were placed in separate folders. So, although there are folders specified as containing photographs or newsletters, these may also be found throughout the scrapbooks.
