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. Programmes in Nfld - (1930-40-"; "Miss Coady's Reports on Various Adult Schools in Nfld Communities, 1935-40-50"; "Miss Sarah Coady Personal letters & career advancement and her educational career"; "Local Nfld Adult Education publications"; "Miscellaneous material gathered by Miss Coady from U.S.A. etc and Nfld Govt. materials & T.B. Association circulars"; "Miss Coady's Scrapbook Clippings". This order has been maintained to a large extent, documenting her career in chronological order. The photographs have been listed as a separate series.
