The collection consists of the following series:

The Library-In-Action Collection documents the Library-In-Action initiative started by the Broward County Library in 1975 to address literacy and access in underserved communities. The collection also documents the career of Tyrone Bryant from his tenure at the Langston Hughes Library through his directorship at Library-In-Action, as well as the Sistrunk Historical Festival.

The materials in this collection appear to have been curated for a choral reunion that took place in the spring of 2003. Materials date from as early as 1937 to as late as 1997. The Southern College Newspaper, music, and photos make up the bulk of the materials.

The Edward Biedricki II collection contains assembled documents and ephemera from members of the 4th Armored Division, specifically the 10th Armored Infantry Battalion. This includes two books regarding the actions of the 4th Armored Division and the 3rd Army in Europe, official documents from the 10th Armored Infantry Battalion headquarters describing the actions of the unit across the European theater, pages from the McClellan Cycle newspaper that was distributed around Fort McClelland, and personal letters to members of the division after the war. The Edward Biedricki II collection does not represent the experiences of one single soldier of the unit, it instead is made up of documents assembled by the unit's membership after the war and contains references to how the war in Europe and, more specifically, how the 4th Armored Division have been commemorated and remembered both during and after the war in Europe.

The Floyd Pyles Collection contains personal papers, photographs, scrapbooks, correspondence, newspaper clippings, and awards belonging to Floyd Pyles, who worked for the Sun Sentinel and the Fort Lauderdale Daily News, eventually becoming Vice President of Gore Newspaper Company. Photographs depict the Pyles family, Fort Lauderdale, the 1926 hurricane, and Park Temple Methodist Church. The collection also includes the "Pyles Prattle" newsletter produced by Floyd Pyles.

Materials in this collection pertain to Thomas Howard who worked with both the University of South Florida - Fort Myers campus and Florida Gulf Coast University. Some material items include, documents, correspondence, newspapers, booklets, and magazines. Some materials also come from former FGCU President McTarnaghan's office as well.
