Manuscripts
There are over 2,000 student records in this collection. Although the Institute provided assistance for primarily boys of Hispanic descent, there are records for students from Asia, Africa, and Europe. Some of the records contain more details than others. For example, one file may only contain a record of only S.A.I. credits, while other files may include a case summary, correspondence, medical records, family history, and/or probation reports.Some letters written to the Institution may concern tuition or perhaps, additional background information about the student. The letters from the Institute are mostly written by the director, Dr. Richard Silverthorn. His letters are about the student's progress at the school, general concerns, or student disciplinary action. At the end of the collection, there are miscellaneous folders containing additional unsorted student records, photographs, and printed matter. Box 22 consists of lantern slides and photographic plates.

Visual Materials
This collection contains seven volumes of photographs and text covering activities of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services from 1930 to 1932. The Bureau of Housing and Bureau of Inspection are two of the divisions represented. The 457 photographs depict housing, schools, water supply, swimming pools, sewage disposal, dairy farms and milk plants, garbage and refuse disposal, and general sanitation, among other topics. Of particular interest is volume 1, documenting the "Hoovervilles" that sprang up throughout Los Angeles during the Great Depression. In contrast is the volume showcasing the state-of-the-art housing for Olympic athletes who were in Los Angeles for the Tenth Olympiad held in 1932. Titles of the volumes are: The Habitations of Unemployed in Los Angeles County, 1932 (volume 1); Activities of the Bureau of Inspection, 1932 (volume 2); Sewage Disposal Methods in Los Angeles County (volume 3); Picture Story of Milk in Los Angeles County (volume 4); Olympic Village, Los Angeles, 1932 (volume 5); Miscellaneous Scenes of Los Angeles County Department of Health Activities (volumes 6-7).
