The collection contains the records of pre-existing charitable funds that were later amalgamated into the Association, notably minutes of the Spero Fund and of the Queen Alexandra Sanatorium and related Funds. The records of the latter, in turn, include administrative and patient records of the Queen Alexandra Sanatorium, Davos, Switzerland, 1890s-1920s. A single minute book for one of the Association's local affiliated organisations, the Cambridgeshire Tuberculosis After-care Association, 1916-1935,  is also included.
