The materials cover the period 1942 to 1976 with the majority of the collection focusing on the period 1969-1975. Primarily notes, briefs, motions, replies and questions, the documents reflect the scope of the annexation trials of the 1970s of the City of Richmond. A large portion of the materials are not dated and others, because of the interdependency of the multiple trials described above, are as easily placed in one series as another. Documentation that may be of interest aside from the trial proceedings include; comparative population studies, master plans, financial reports for the City of Richmond, school board budgets and reports, and city budgets.

The Richmond First Club Papers consist of administrative files, correspondence, reports, memoranda, committee files, publications, audio tapes, photographs and clippings about the Club's activities or interests. The materials encompass the years 1919-1990, but are concentrated in the period from the mid 1970s through the present. Series VIII contains photocopied material from the Raymond Pinchbeck Papers at the Virginia Baptist Historical Society. The bulk of these materials are dated from the 1950s.
