The Huntington University fonds consists mainly of correspondence, minutes, documentation, publications, yearbooks and photographs. The records document the administration of Huntington University. Not all functions performed at the University are documented and the records focus on the first 15 years of administration at Huntington. For instance, there are no records from the academic programs. Records created and used by the Board of Regents along with Silas Huntington records can be found in the fonds. Many records attest to the different roles performed by Rev. Dr. Earl Lautenslager as Chairman of the Northern Ontario University Association (NOUA), his administration of Huntington University as the first President and his ministry at St. Andrew's United Church. The records of the President/Principal's office are the most abundant. The records show the diversity of the work the President/Principal completed at the University, from corresponding with various individuals to planning the convocations. Information about student life at Huntington is well documented through the residence handbooks, student newsletters and yearbooks. A vast collection of photographs of the students also help provide a visual of their activities on campus. Other photographs can be found that depict the beginnings of Huntington on the Laurentian University campus and individuals such as the Board of Regents, faculty and staff. Documentation can be found on the history of Huntington and the United Church, along with various pieces of literature.
The fonds is arranged in 8 series: Series I: Board of Regents; Series II: President's Office; Series III: President/Principal's Office; Series IV: Finance; Series V: Residence; Series VI: Huntington College Student Association; Series VII: Photographs and Series VIII: Documentation.
