The collection includes South Windsor memorabilia with school connections. It includes yearbooks, as well as numerous photographs, including large, panoramic photographs of students on the annual senior class trip to Washington, DC (1946-1962). Other photographs include views of the old and new high schools, surrounding areas, students and faculty, as well as some views of the original Theological Institute buildings. Two scrapbooks, now disbound, contain photos used in yearbooks for 1947-48 and 1950-51.
