The collection is organized by size and type of items. The first three boxes of the collection are regular-sized papers and files on Bainum, organized alphabetically. Box 4 is alphabetically organized legal-sized documents. Boxes 5 and 6 feature a scrapbook, posters for the NU band, photographs of Bainum, music written by Bainum, and a gift given to him by the band upon his retirement. Box 7 holds a large oil portrait of Bainum, which probably hung in the band office of Bainum’s successor and protege, John P. Paynter.
