Record types within this collection include sermons, addresses, clippings, notes, note cards, orders of worship, and program materials. Most of the collection consists of sermons and addresses delivered by Arnold to a wide variety of community and church groups. These are mostly handwritten and in outline form, although a few are complete typewritten manuscripts. Topics include Biblical themes, challenges of Christian living, national and patriotic subjects, liturgical and secular holidays, and Sunday School lessons. Many were delivered to church services and church groups in Ohio and neighboring states; others were addressed to a wide variety of community groups. Among the organizations that benefited from Reverend Arnold's wit were the Ohio Farm Bureau, 4-H Club, Rotary Club, General Conference of 1933, and the Otterbein Guild. The clippings and notes are closely related to Arnold's sermons and addresses. Also included in this collection are some program materials relating to Arnold's work with the Evangelical United Brethren Sunday school publications, as well as a few orders of worship from his ministerial and speaking career.

This collection primarily documents the work and ministry of the Evangelical Church's annual conferences and local churches from the middle nineteenth century to the middle twentieth century. To a lesser degree there are records that reflect the ministry of the general church as well. There are other records that pertain to filial denominations such as the Evangelical Association, United Evangelical Church, Church of the United Brethren in Christ (United Brethren Church), and the Evangelical United Brethren Churches are also found in this collection. Leedy was an avid collector of church related information so that the topical landscape of this collection is broad enough to cover information ranging from local church ministries and histories to denominational theological beliefs and social concerns. Most of the paper records center on church work in the Ohio region though not to the exclusion of other geographic areas within the continental United States and Germany. All in all this collection provides a nice overview of the diversified life within the Evangelical tradition and is an excellent resource for those who wish to understand more fully the Evangelical Church's historical influence within the ongoing traditions of United Methodism.

The collection comprises mostly Charles Warren Brewbaker's published works and other writings. The majority of the publications include articles from church-related periodicals. These articles discuss topics such as children’s Sunday School attendance, elderly participation in the church, preaching, and the church’s involvement in society.
