The Recording Secretary's minutes of meetings have some gaps. The earliest recorded minutes in this collection are from 1902. The minutes are generally limited to one or one and a half pages. The minutes record Club activities at their meetings. The number of members present is listed, sometimes along with an attendance list. Next the secretary records the introduction of a topic, the title of the paper, and the presenter. The secretary also records briefly the actions of the business meeting following the presentations. Included also in the Sub-series are the minutes of the Executive Committees meetings for 1910-1923. Attendance records appear as part of Secretary's Minutes, except for a folder of separate attendance entries for 1903-1916 and 1941-1957.

The class notes and syllabi in this subseries were generated in connection with several courses in public administration that Oppler took, but most of the materials in this subseries consist of reading notes taken while he was researching "Prussian Bureaucracy and National Socialism". Oppler housed his research notes in sequentially numbered three-ring binders. This order was preserved and folder notations indicate the notebook in which each group of documents was placed; in several instances, loose documents produced at a later date were removed and placed in the Writings or Research Materials subseries.

This series contains a file of pamphlet material collected by the State Association of Towns. It includes both pamphlets published by the Association and pamphlets received from other sources. The pamphlets deal with subjects related to town law and New York State finances. They date primarily from the 1930s but include some older material, such as an 1881 pamphlet on town officer salaries (Box 2, Folder 28.) The series is organized according to the Association's organizational system, which assigned a number to each pamphlet. Note that this series is incomplete.

This sub-series includes records from the executive committee and the membership committee. Included in membership files are membership recommendations with the credentials of a proposed member (college[s] attended, professional development, posts held, awards won).

This sub-series contains records relating to the Textile Workers Union of America (TWUA). When the Hudson Valley Area Joint Board was formed in 1957 through the merger of the Columbia County and Mid-Hudson Valley Joint Boards, it was already affiliated with the Textile Workers Union of America (TWUA). The TWUA merged with the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America (ACWA) in 1976 to form the Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union (ACTWU). This series contains the records of the assistant state director of the TWUA, as well as the international representation files of the union.
