The formative years of the Camp Fire Girls are documented by the record book of the Deh-Ge-Wa-Nus Camp Fire (1913-1915), the earliest extant record of Camp Fire Activity in Buffalo. There is also a collection of memorabilia belonging to Margaret Bradshaw McGee, a friend of "Hiiteni" (Charlotte Gulick), including a letter from Hiiteni (1916) and the typescript of "The Telling of Hiiteni." There is also a small collection of memorabilia (1913-1915) belonging to Grace M. Dewey, including the record book of the Wa-Wa-See Camp Fire in Washington, D.C.

The organizational activities of the Camp Fire Girls of Buffalo and Erie County are recorded in the minute book of the Guardians' Association (1923-1940), minutes of the Board of Directors of the Council (1930-1945 and 1952-1965) and scrapbooks kept by the Publicity Committee (1925-1963). The scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings and other materials concerning local events and administrative changes.

A series of files contain items illustrative of the history of the organization. Of particular interest is a folder containing a copy of a report on "Women of Achievement," which consists of twenty-seven biographical sketches on outstanding women in Buffalo, New York, prepared by local Camp Fire Girls and submitted to Dr. Mary Beard's World Center for Women Archives (1939). Also of interest is the typescript of a play entitled "kindling the Flame," written by Jane Lucille Garn (1935), about the foundation of the Camp Fire Girls.

In addition to the scrapbooks kept by the Publicity Committee, there are scrapbooks from Camp Aloha (1927-1928, 1930-1934, 1938 and 1948) and miscellaneous scrapbooks kept by local Camp Fires and Guardians (1925-1964). The collection also contains photograph albums (1923-1967) and camp logs (1927, 1929-1935). The earlier photographs found in albums and scrapbooks are informal snapshots, depicting groups of girls working and playing together. These photographs are more expressive than the later portraits.

The records also include copies of Camp Fire Girl publications, including various editions of the Book of the Camp Fire Girls (1913-1960) and the Handbook for Guardians of Camp Fire Girls (1925-1961). Also included is a plaque in honor of Madeline V. Blaisdell and Dorothy L. Scheidt (circa 1920).
