The bulk of the series is the Citizens Budget Commission's (CBC) minutes from 1932 through 1973. These include minutes from the executive sessions of the board of trustees, adjourned meetings of the board of trustees and the nominating committee, and the minutes of the annual meetings of members of the CBC. In 1978, the biographies of the trustees of CBC were compiled and photographs of many of these individuals are included. The series is arranged by topic with the minutes in chronological order.

An oversized, bound book of news clippings holds content about New York City's financial struggles from 1934-1941. Many of the articles contain information about Fiorello LaGuardia, Mayor of New York City from 1934-1945. The news clippings are from New York City newspapers such as the New York Times and the Long Island Press. There are both photocopied and original news clippings. Many of the news clippings from the 1960s and 1970s are about Mayor John Lindsay and his efforts to fix New York City's budget problems.

The photographs are primarily of the CBC's annual dinners between 1978 and 1982. Most of the photographs are 8 x 10 inches in size with one folder containing 5 x 7 inch photographs. Photographs of the 1982 50th anniversary dinner are in the box as well.
