The Audubon Society of Manchester records date from 1903 to 2001 and measure 9 linear inches. The records are organized in one series: Administrative files. These files include secretary's books, treasurer's books, and programs. The Outing Club minutes from 1903 to 1915 are humorous and apparently copied by hand to be included in a letter. The location of the originals is unknown. The Audubon Society records depict a fairly typical women's club in a prosperous county seat in rural eastern Iowa.

The Secretary's books (1903-2001) contain minutes of the Outing Club from 1903 to 1915 and the Audubon Society of Manchester from 1922 to 2001 [absent 1917/1918, 1918/1919, 1953, 1955, and 1956.] The minutes detail location of meetings, members present, club business, programs, and occasional notices of the activities of various members. The Outing Club minutes describe recreational and social entertainments of prosperous women in Manchester in a light-hearted manner. The Audubon Society of Manchester records document the social and ornithological activities of its members.

The Treasurer's book (1945-1955) records dues paid.

The Annual programs (1917-2001) are the printed or handmade, sometimes decorative, programs of the Audubon Society during those years. They include a list of officers and members.
