Materials from the La Crosse Area Retired Educators Association are divided into three series: Historical Materials, Administrative Materials and Related Organizations.

Historical Materials include a history file (ca. 1969-ca. 1991) made up of two written histories of the organization, chronological highlights of the organization, and a copy of a speech given at a meeting to honor charter members. Other materials in the Historical Materials series include by-laws (1966-2003), photocopies of newspaper clippings (1960-1992), and photographs (n. d.). Two scrapbooks (1956-1992 and 1971-1981) that contain many additional newspaper clippings and photographs are also included.

Administrative Materials include some committee materials (1993-2004), membership directories (1970-1973; 1975-1995; 2000-2004), meeting minutes (1957-1988; 1990-1992; 2000-2002), miscellaneous materials (1973; 1991), lists of officers (1970-2005), and scattered treasurer's reports (1963-1989). Additional treasurer's reports and other miscellaneous materials are included with the organization's minutes.

Materials from Related Organizations are made up of a handbook from the National Retired Teacher's Association (1947) and miscellaneous materials from the Wisconsin Retired Teachers Association (1962-1981).
