The majority of the collection is comprised of meeting minutes and program reviews. The faculty meeting minutes focus mostly on budget and curriculum issues. Materials documenting the development of the master's program in speech pathology and audiology are also found within the collection. The collection contains some materials documenting the Hearing Evaluation Center, which operated as part of the Dept. of Speech; the development of the Speech Communication Center; and the university theatre program.

The material added in 2016 includes a number of statistical reports taken from the department and its students. Other items of interest include additional faculty meeting minutes, graduate and undergraduate program reviews, departmental newsletters, and course syllabi.

The materials are arranged alphabetically by subject, then chronologically. The Syllabi are arranged by course number.
