The records span the life of the Amherst Community Association (1939-1978) and include by-laws, incorporation papers, minutes of the Executive and Budget committees; budgets, correspondence, reports, and flyers for campaigns and annual fund drives; and agency profiles, budgets, reports, and correspondence. Early records of the Association were maintained by the Secretary. The later records, c.1970-1978, were collected by the Secretary, President, Campaign Chairman, and Executive Director, resulting in some duplication of materials.

This collection is organized into three series:

• Series 1. Administration
• Series 2. Campaigns
• Series 3. Agencies
