The material for the Society includes correspondence, information on the group's activities, sporadic meeting minutes (1983-2001, undated), and a semi-complete run of the Society's newsletter (1981-2000). Also included are writings by and about Derleth. The Sauk-Prairie materials include some editions of the Sauk-Prairie Historical Society newsletter and old news clippings about the area. The video consists of a program produced by Kirchstein entitled, Sauk City-Prairie du Sac in 1938, which uses archival footage of the area. The two Cuca Records DVDs are related to August Derleth and LeRoy Gore respectively. Most of the photographs are of Kirchstein or of places related to August Derleth.
