The fonds consists of a 210 page manuscript of the "History of Springfield", seventeen volumes of minute books, and three treasurer's books: 1950-1956, 1963-1990 and 1990-2006. The handwritten manuscript compiled by members of the Springfield Women's Institute includes original photographs, clippings, and copies of map sections of Lot 67 inserted into, or pasted unto, the pages as well as hand-drawn illustrations. The minute books contain minutes for general and annual meetings from 25 April 1913 to July 1915, July 1917 to 1945, 1950 to 4 June 1985 and 2 April 1991 to 4 January 2006.
