Contains material regarding the Fort Orange Garden Club such as minutes and reports from meetings, genealogies, general histories, personal histories, membership lists, projects, flower shows, public works, newspaper articles, awards, magazines, scrapbooks, maps, memorabilia, photographs, and slides from the clubs founding in 1923 to 2007, when the archive was last updated. The more involved the F.O.G.C. was, the deeper the topic is explored.

The records are sorted into eight series. The first six series are composed of documents and divided by subject matter. Series one most closely follows the F.O.G.C. archivists’ original organization, dividing the club’s history by presidential terms. Series two details the many projects undertaken by the F.O.G.C. Series three contains the histories of non-presidential club members, arranged alphabetically. Series four contains histories of the F.O.G.C., assembled by different people, covering different time periods, with varied levels of detail. Series five is composed of all documents regarding the F.O.G.C. glass slides donated to the Smithsonian. Series six collects information concerning flowers shows hosted or attended by the F.O.G.C. The final two are organized by form, photographic materials and oversized objects, series seven and eight respectively.
