The collection comprises letters, draft correspondence, working papers, concert programs and financial records - such as bank statements and cheque and receipt books - as well as official records of General and Committee meetings. It forms an important source of detailed information on the workings of an amateur musical organisation during a period of increasing activity in the development of Canberra. The collection details the administration of the society, the organisation of its concert activities, and the various efforts and strategies employed in publicising those activities.
