Materials from the Fauver Hill School Collection include many items used in preparation of the Fauver Hill memory book, “Fauver Hill, 1867-1999,” compiled before the school closed on June 4, 1999. Materials include artwork of the exterior of the school (1990s), history and timelines (1990s), preliminary copies of the memory book (1999), reminiscences collected from former Fauver Hill students and staff members (1999), and a list of teachers that taught at Fauver Hill including the first teacher, Lucy Johnson (1990s).

Three kindergarten scrapbooks are included, two of which are made up primarily of photographs (1975-1976 and 1976-1977). The other kindergarten scrapbook includes newspaper articles, which document the start of the Onalaska Kindergarten Center, and also includes some photographs (1983-1986).
Many photographs are included in the collection. Students are rarely identified in any of the photographs, but teachers and staff members are identified in the “teachers and classes” and “teachers and staff” folders. Most photographs are undated. Photographs are included of the building and grounds (1915; 1970s), cafeteria (1970s), and classroom scenes (1970s-1980s). Other classroom scenes are color slides (1970s-1980s). Additional photographs include special events, outdoor scenes (1970s-1980s), teachers and classes (1970s-1990s), teachers and staff (1970s-1990s), and volunteers (1970s-1980s).
