The Records of the Borah Committee span the years 1931 to 1987, with the bulk of the material covering the years 1948 to 1987.

The papers include correspondence, programs, speeches, and budgets for the annual conferences; in later years an anthology of readings related to the conference is also included. Essays submitted by high school and university students are included, as are correspondence, handbooks, fact sheets, survey forms, and opinion ballots from the community relations and Great Decisions programs. There are also items dealing with the unveiling of the Borah Statue in the U.S. Capitol in 1947 and the Borah Centennial Celebration in 1965.
