The records of the Idaho Third District Federation of Women's Clubs span the years 1946 to 1998 with the bulk of the material covering the years 1975 to 1986. The material includes the constitution and bylaws, the secretary's correspondence and financial files, minutes of state and district conventions, the treasurer's record books and check registers, convention registration records and programs, and twelve scrapbooks, eleven of which contain newspaper clippings, newsletters, programs, photographs, and correspondence, and one which contains yearbooks from all member clubs.

When additional records were processed in May 2011 some folders were added that contained: correspondence, letterhead, statistical report, conventions, conferences and workshops, GFWC Idaho Volunteers. There were also folders created that contained the history of the Sandpoint Civic Club, the Women's Club Movement in Idaho and the Women's Club Federation at the national level. In addition to these folders, nine scrapbooks and one daybook were added to the collection.

When additional records were processed in February 2021 some folders were added that contained General Federation of Women's Club (GFWC) and Idaho Federation of Women's Club (IFWC) materials. Most of the materials added, however, were added to existing folders. During this addition, Sub-series were added to denote materials at a district, state, and national level. The folders containing district and state convention minutes was created in prior processing and was not separated out into district and state materials under the new sub-series structure. A minute book was also added to the collection that was too large to box with the rest of Series I, so it is stored in Box 3 with scrapbooks.
