Records also include a scrapbook maintained by the Council from 1978 to 1984.

The collection is organized into two principal series:
The Administrative series contains an address by Herbert H. Schell, correspondence, meeting minutes, and other materials.
This series contain materials from a scrapbook made by the Tompkins Textile Student Council. Topics of interest include photographs from TTSC events and activities, news bulletins, slogans, collages, and correspondences.
This scrapbook contained photos and labels that had been pasted onto individual pages. Many photos and labels had fallen off and were loose in the scrapbook. These items were rehoused into the folders and boxes listed below. The original pages, which sometimes still had writing on them, were retained and can be found at the end of the list.
These materials contain meeting minutes from the Tompkins Textile Council
The job forum was held on April 17, 1980. The event contained Thirteen textile industries. The afternoon consisted of informal discussions between students and representives on job opportunites within the textile industry.
The first page contains the council's school logo. Some pages contain drawings, labels, and slogans.
Many pages are blank; the loose photographs that were on these pages were rehoused into boxes 2 and 3.
Pages contain photographs with bulletins of TTSC events such as Textile Day, Feminar, the Lintdodgers Ball, and commemoration ceremonies for faculty. Other topics of interest contain humorous slogans written by Student Council for news bulletins.
These scrapbook pages still have photographs attached, so they were not rehoused.
This collection is open for research; access requires at least 48 hours advance notice. Because of the nature of certain archival formats, including digital and audio-visual materials, access to digital files may require additional advanced notice.
