The CDR Records contain correspondence, publications, newspapers, articles, newsletters, notes, financial records, brochures, audio-visual material, books, programs, grant proposals, photographs, reports, and ephemera.

The box inventories list a folder title only once; there may be multiple folders for one title. The majority of the collection's dates are between 1979-2008, with some 1960s and 1970s material in the Research series.
