Earlier items are included, such as financial records for the committee from 1922-43 and membership lists from 1939 and 1940. A notebook of minutes, member lists, and ephemera related to the organization was compiled by Frances M. Cocke, 1954-59; a spiral bound transcription notebook containing minutes, 1956-61, is labeled with Belinda Spindle’s (Mrs. C. Shelbune Spindle) name, but others appear to have used it. Items related to typescript histories written by members and donated to the Roanoke Library in 1956 are included as well.
The items from Mrs. Ellet’s time as chairman include general correspondence and information related to the committee’s fiftieth anniversary (1968) luncheon and tour in Fincastle, VA, as well as programs and documents from national conventions. Additionally, a number of publications from the Virginia and national organizations, including histories of both, are included in the collection.
The collection also includes membership election certificates 1955-73, arranged alphabetically by member name.

The scrapbooks appear to have been compiled by Fred and consist of photographs of places and people from 1898-1910; some, but not most, of the people and places are identified. The individual photographs are: Blackburn’s String Band, which includes Fred; Fred and two other saxophone players; and Fred holding a Saxophone.
The family history, “Chronicles of an Immigrant Family: The Lorenzens” includes information about Frederick J. Lorenzen’s ancestors, as well as his siblings and their children. It contains photographs of family members (including Ollie Lorenzen with the 3rd Sec. Co. C. 300th Signal Battalion in 1919), as well as local places, including: the family’s parlor; the first block of Campbell Ave. SW, Roanoke (1917); a house on Fourth Ave. NE Roanoke; and 1317 Clark Ave. SW, Roanoke.
