The main body of the collection is an assortment of papers that were part of Strauss’s personal business dealings. Included are orders, receipts, and correspondence between Strauss and others. Each folder contains papers from each business he dealt with; they are arranged alphabetically by the same names.

The collection also includes a number of photographs – some of the Strauss family. Few of the pictures have been identified and are grouped into the last folder of the collection.
