The series consists of by-laws, correspondence, meeting materials, budget data, resumes, staff reports, vouchers and other expense information, executive director records, and other operational records of the Willowbrook Review Panel. There is also information about consultants to the WRP, and about other developmental centers. Correspondence issued by the WRP, meeting packets, and mailings constitute the largest sections of the series. The series is restricted because it contains information about specific named residents of Willowbrook and other state developmental centers, particularly in the folders marked "Mailings". The materials are arranged alphabetically in both letter-size and legal-size format.

The Willowbrook Review Panel Records provide extensive documentation of the Panel's main function: monitoring implementation of the 1975 Willowbrook Consent Decree in New York State which set new standards for the care of the facility's residents.
