This series comprises the minute books of the club since its origins in 1880 until 1970, as well as some accounts/financial records in volumes and/or loose notes.

The minute books include the date and location of meetings, details of members in attendance (ordinary and honorary), titles and details of papers read, accounts of discussions and elections, and details of arrangements made for social activities and excursions. Many of the minute books from the 1920s include printed cards listing the talks and speakers for the entire academic term. Some volumes include letters from members or their families.
