Fonds consists of records related to Dean William Born, including canonical documents of ordination and appointments. Fonds also includes newspaper clippings and printed material related to his life.

The textual records consist mainly of information concerning Miss Coady's career from 1922 to 1966, including official documents, letters, publications, presentations, and notes written by Miss Coady. There is also a small collection of newspaper clippings from the 1940's, and seven photographs, ranging from an albumen print of Trepassey catholic church to a snapshot of Miss Coady in 1968. The material came to the Society in six folders labelled as follows: "Skit or drama materials for use in Adult Ed.

The photographs have been listed as a separate series.
