The Monday Afternoon Club records date from 1900 to 2003 and measure 3 linear feet. The records are arranged in six series: Historical information, Anniversaries, Minutes, Yearbooks, Photographs and Scrapbooks. The Historical information series consists of account books, annual reports, membership lists and several drafts of the club's constitution and by-laws. This series also contains limited correspondence, citations from the Iowa Federation of Women's Clubs, a few reports presented at club meetings and four club histories written for various anniversaries throughout the club's first one hundred years. The Anniversaries series consists of programs, congratulatory cards, and newspaper articles written for several of the Monday Afternoon Club's key celebrations.

The Minutes series contains the minutes of meetings from 1907 through 2001 and records nearly one hundred years of the club's history. The Yearbooks series adds to that history with one hundred years of programs listing topics that were studied and discussed by club members.

The Photographs series includes a 1931 photograph complete with identifications, photographs from the ninety-fifth and one hundredth anniversaries, a trip to Illinois in 1989, and several undated photographs. There is also a folder of original newspaper clippings that include photographs of club members. Photocopies of these articles are located throughout the location.

The Scrapbooks series consists of three scrapbooks. There are both photocopies and the originals of two of the scrapbooks, one from the fiftieth anniversary in 1949 and an earlier one dated 1930-1931. The fiftieth anniversary scrapbook contains newspaper clippings, correspondence, photographs and a guest list. The earlier scrapbook consists of newspaper announcements and descriptions of club meetings and is decorated with colorful drawings done by Mrs. C. W. Smith. A third scrapbook is from 1980 and contains programs, correspondence, newspaper clippings and photographs.
