The papers of the Fortnightly Ignorance Club consist of two manuscript volumes containing minutes of the group's meetings, correspondence, newspaper clippings, and club budgets. The correspondence, between recording secretary Jenny Marsh Parker and notable women reformers (including Marie E. Zakrzewska and Susan B. Anthony), is interleaved in the volumes and indexed. The two volumes cover the periods 1881 to 1883 (volume 1) and 1886 to 1891 (volume 3) with a gap during the intervening years.

The most significant historical contents in this collection are the materials found in Box 1, which include photographs and a scrapbook of newspaper accounts detailing the ACWA Strike of 1933, as well as a substantial amount of material regarding the proxy battle of 1960. Box 2 contains a broad collection of general historical material about the company, such as newspaper articles, advertisements, and style model books, as well as an original Heumann patent and Heumann biographical information. Significant financial and stock information is found in Box 3, including original turn of the century bank account books, annual reports, executive payroll reports, and stockholder correspondence. Finally, Box 4 contains miscellaneous business and legal documents related to Keller, Heumann and Thompson, Inc. such as by-laws, constitutions, and minutes of meetings.
