The NAD collection is extremely broad, covering a wide range of subjects. It is broken down into six series:

Convention Proceedings (1880-1990), NAD Business Correspondence (1910-1915) Abbe de l’ Epee Memorial Statue (1915-1930) Centennial Convention (1980) Miss Deaf America Pageant (1972-1974) General (1880-1991) Convention programs make up the bulk of the collection although the years 1923, 1926, 1952-1962, 1966-1968, 1972-1974, and 1986. The Centennial Convention of 1980 is the most complete of all the conventions in the collection. In addition, not all of the Miss Deaf America Pageant programs are available. Programs for 1974, 1976, and 1978 are missing.

Newspaper clippings related to all aspects of the National Association of the Deaf are included in the collection, particularly a scrapbook of clippings from the 1934 convention in New York. In addition, papers related to the de l’Epee memorial statue at St. Mary’s School for the Deaf in Buffalo, New York are stored here. Overall the NAD collection provides a rich and insightful history into one of the most foremost deaf organizations in the United States.
