A guest book is filled with signatures and addresses, notes, doodles, and illustrations from various signatories and also includes scattered printed material and letters.

A few reports of exhibitions include exhibition and price lists. Letters are primarily to and from the organization's governing board, president, and members regarding routine business, such as elections to membership, and exhibitions. Letters also include reports and financial records such as receipts, related to the governing board's reporting duties.

Scrapbooks form the bulk of the collection and house a variety of printed material documenting the history of the Pen and Brush club  from the founding of the organization in 1893 through to the early 1960s. Material includes news clippings with exhibition reviews, Pen and Brush monthly newsletters with notes on each of the organization's sections, exhibition lists with prices, exhibition catalogs, announcements and invitations, press releases, and news items about members' activities within and outside the club, such as published articles written by members of the Writers section.
