The Administrative Files series includes records of the foundation, organizational structure, and operation of the International Neighbors. The Annual Meeting Reports and Minutes provides a year-by-year summary of the major activities and concerns of the organization. Two folders of histories include Esther Dunham's account of the organization's beginnings as well as later chronologies and summaries. The Participant-Guests Committee folder is a rich source of statistical information about the number and nationality of the organization's participants. The folder of Presidential Annual Reports fills in the gaps of documentation in the 1990s, when Board Minutes and Treasurer's Annual reports are missing.

The Activities series contains organizational records and announcements of International Neighbor's main activities, such as the annual Fall Reception or the monthly Neighborhood Tea Groups. Documentation is best for the 1960s and 1970s, but scattered for later decades. The series also includes slide programs produced for 1974-1975. The slides contain pictures of guests, hostesses, and members of the executive board participating in multiple activities, such as International Days. They also include pictures of recommended recreational activities in Ann Arbor.
