This series contains the files of past presidents of the Captital District Chapter of ASPA. At least three of these files--those of George W. Chesbro, Robert P. Kerker and Charlotte O. Gray--appear to have been donated by the presidents themselves. The rest of these files were collected from people other than the president who created the records, but these do seem to be files kept by those presidents. Most of these files are arranged as day files: items within files are in rough chronological order, and contain incoming and outgoing correspondence, meeting minutes, newsletters, announcements, and some notes. For the most part, files under one name contain the records of one president's term, but a few of these files (notably, those for Robert J. Donahue) contain records that overlap with the terms of other presidents and are filed in the presidents' files for the sake of convenience.

This series contains records of the committees of the Capital District chapter of ASPA. Many of the records are not the official committee records but rather the retained records of members of the committees. The one apparent exception is the records of the Long Range Planning Committee, which include minutes of committee meetings and which were divided by type into individual folders. Some of the committees are represented by only one folder, but other committees (apparently with more duties or members) have larger files--the Awards Committee, the Membership Committee, and the Training and Professional Development Committee.
