Minutes, 1889 August 28-1891 September 27 : This official minute book of the National Executive Committee contains a record in German of the regular weekly meetings and the special meetings of the Committee, as well as financial statements and reports of the Committee, the Board of Supervision, and the party press.

Outgoing Correspondence, Letter Books : These five volumes of letter-press copy books, with incomplete alphabetical indexes, contain copies of letters written by the secretaries of the National Executive Committee and other national officials of the party to the Board of Supervision, the sections, the section officials, the agitators, the party newspapers, and individual party members. This correspondence, written primarily in German and English with some scattered letters in French, largely concerns routine party business such as section meetings and activities, orders for literature and dues stamps, newspaper subscriptions, agitation tours, finances, and National Executive Committee actions. These letter-press copy books are deteriorating, and some of the letters are almost illegible.
