The collection consists of two main types of material: vertical files and horizontal ledgers or scrapbooks. The records are organized first into series and sub-series and then by material type and lastly chronologically, unless otherwise stated. Most of the records written before 1920's are in German. Also many of the older ledgers are in poor condition and may not be available for unrestricted use. Series 1, Vital Records, is divided into five subseries. Most of the material documenting the children who stayed at the orphanage is located in this series. Generally records of the children are minimal in the first 80 years of the orphanage. Sub-series 1A, Census/Admission and Dismissals, documents the children admitted to the orphanage.
