Series 3, Subject files, 1897-2016, contains a wide variety of materials, documenting the activities of the chapter.
The majority of the files represent events and efforts of the Massanutton chapter.

Another example of such public efforts is the restoration of the Lincoln Cemetery in 2010-2016. Some files included are administrative in nature, such as awards given by and received by the Massanutton chapter, chapter history, event programs, and regent reports and letters on chapter goals and achievements.
Another portion of the series is composed of miscellaneous general files originating from the national administration of the NSDAR that were in the possession of the Massanutton chapter. These files include pamphlets and informational mailings spanning 1950-2015.
