The NAPNAP Collection consists primarily of administrative documents generated by the organization's executive director and staff and by its officers, committees, and task forces. These include correspondence, reports, meeting minutes, bylaws, applications for grants and awards, and conference materials.

Smaller parts of the collection consist of: publications, including newsletters, conference programs, brochures, and position statements; photographs, mostly of conference activities; audiotapes of conference presentations; and videotapes of interviews with former officers and of educational and public service statements. The 1970s and 1980s are represented by scattered correspondence, reports, and publications. The full range of administrative documents begins in 1989.
