The collection is primarily made up of sermons and speeches. Most of the folders contain supporting documents directly related to the sermons and addresses in the forms of bulletins, correspondence and other ephemera. There are three additional folders at the end of the collection which focuses on prayers, annual conference meetings and manuscript fragments. Topics range far and wide within the standard theological spectrum. They reflect the many ministries in which Craig was involved during her career.

This collection consists of three scrapbooks filled primarily with clippings from The Religious Telescope, a church newspaper of the United Brethren Church, and from assorted newspapers. These were compiled by C. I. B. Brane while he was active as the Washington correspondent for the magazine and the popular pastor of the Washington, D.C. United Brethren Church. The clippings are a rich resource for both religious and secular history in the latter years of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th century. In addition there are several letters and an address on the pioneers' history of the United Brethren Church written by Brane.

This collection includes the sermons, teachings, addresses, writings, notebooks, and accounting records of United Brethren Bishop Cyrus J. Kephart. The bulk of the collection are his sermons, that while undated, may have come from during the period when he served as pastor in Iowa and Ohio, 1878-1913.. His teachings and addresses, due to the subjects and audiences being addressed, appear to have been written while serving as Bishop of the United Brethren Church's Southwestern District from 1913 to 1925. Other writings include his studies and possible drafts of his publications.

The Edward Bauman Sermons collection contains a total of 1,217 recorded sermons for a total of 39.74 cubic feet. The recordings are divided into two series, Radio and Foundry Sermons. There are 650 recordings in the Radio Sermons series and 567 Foundry Church sermons. Topics are as varied as there were in most Protestant pulpits during his time at Foundry. Here the researcher will find sermons on church holidays, theology, social concerns, Christian life with its various facets, Faith, Missions, Biblical teachings and figures, contemporary issues and events, family and ethics. The sermons are on reel to reel tapes and cassettes. Some of the sermons are digitized. There are also study guides used with his television programs and several of his books.

This collection contains sermons, notes, news clippings, articles, speeches, and photographs which document the ministerial career of I. F. Bergstresser. The bulk of this collection is comprised of sermons. A few sermons are in German. Articles Bergstressed used in preparing the sermons are included. Topics in his sermons include temperance, patriotism, Labor Day, Easter, Thanksgiving, Rally Days, Sunday School, and missions. In addition, there are several funeral sermons including those given on the deaths of Matilda A. Yeager, Lewis D. Krause, Louise E. Wentz, and Mrs. Wesley Bowman. Some of the addresses Bergstresser gave while he was a minister are included in this collection. Other items in this collection are mission materials (including two booklets by Walter Haller), a book on the first commemorative historical marker in the Evangelical Church, religious tracts, and a pastor's funeral book. There are also several large black and white panoramic photographs of conference meetings and conventions held in the Evangelical Church.

Currently the collection's MUPWJ documentation comes solely from Howard Hallman's office. Both paper and digital born records illustrate how MUPWJ started out as a small, volunteer group of United Methodist clergy and laity to give voice against nuclear weapons and support the idea of mutual destruction deterrence. The records show how Hallman's drive to make a larger coalition amongst other religious bodies and then like-minded nonprofit, non-governmental organizations that share MUPWJ core values in order to create a more unified strong voice for justice and peace in the world.

The records show how far reaching MUPWJ and its coalition organizations cajoled, lobbied and confronted from lowest to the highest levels of government in order to halt nuclear testing, end nuclear deterrence policies and chemical weapons development and their usage. The Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) and Non-Proliferation Treaty ratifications make up a majority of the records going into and beyond the 21st century. There are also documents related to stopping the spread of nuclear weapons expansion in non-nuclear countries with India and Pakistan serving as case tests. Additionally, there are emails discussing the ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention.

Further documents record how MUPWJ took an active role in trying to block any American military activity in Afghanistan and the Gulf region as it continued to escalate under various presidential administrations. Once war became inevitable, MUPWJ called for quick endings to all fighting with just resolutions. They augmented their antiwar stance in order to achieve a sustainable peace by lobbying the United States government and other first world powers through coalition building of like-minded groups by lobbying both in personal visits and writing government leaders.

By 2004, documents show there was a series of conferences, recommended publications, outreach programming to local church study groups and other venues to discuss the idea of a theologically just war concept in light of theological pacifism. As a result the subsequent discussions and advocation of peace were filtered through Albert Outler's intellectual Wesleyan Quadrilateral of four theological categories: Scripture, Tradition, Reason and Experience in order to create a deeper and more relevant theological construct to change or reject the idea of a just war. As typical of Hallman's leadership, the conversation ranged across a broad spectrum led by ideas from prominent scholars representing related disciplines and multi-denominational peace statements. Also documented is how in the late 1980s MUPWJ took up the cause to end the Reagan era Star Wars Strategic Defense Initiative as part of its larger anti-nuclear proliferation goal.

Peace Leaf, along with the shorter Peace/Justice Alert are the official MUPWJ publications. Letter and later email campaigns to Methodist Church leaders, domestic and foreign political officials and staffs, various forms of news outlets, local church programs, special events and a robust website enabled MUPWJ to further its mission.

There are complete manuscripts and supporting documents of Hallman’s personal writings and subsequent submissions to various agents or publishers.
