The collection consists of photocopies of two 1845 advertisements, a photocopy of an 1841 catalog, and a carbon typed copy of the accounts, trustees minutes and other items relating to the Academy for the period 1827-1904. The original Pendleton Female Academy records, 1827-1904 (Manuscripts I&O) at the South Carolianiana Library, University of South Carolina were copied by Addie S.

This copy has an index created by the WPA. The minutes discuss courses, tuition, and the hiring of teachers and principals. The advertisements are for the Pendleton Female Academy and the Pendleton Male Academy. The catalog is for the 1810-1811 academic year and includes lists of trustees, teachers, students, costs and textbooks, the 1840 annual report and a handwritten poem/song. The date when the photocopy of the catalog was made is unknown.
