Scans relevant to Woodrow Wilson were done with permission while the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library held the Roll Book, 1856-1886 and Minute Book, 1875-1895 of the Jefferson Literary and Debating Society at the University of Virginia as protective stewards. The books have since been placed with the Small Library special collections at the University of Virginia.

Only material relating to Woodrow Wilson, usually bearing his signature, was scanned from the two bound books from the period from September 1879 to December 1880.
