The first series, Early Board of Trustees Files (1 linear foot), consists of six subseries: Executive director's reports, Administrative documents, Executive Committee and Board of Trustees business, Other committees, LTC budgets, and the John Fischer (early chairman) files. The series as a whole provides a good introduction to the history and early activities of LTC. The first subseries, Executive director's reports, provides useful summaries of the major activities for the years 1980-1983, as do the minutes of the annual meetings from the Executive Committee and Board of Trustees subseries, which cover the years 1972-1985.

The John Fischer subseries contains some of the earliest items from LTC's history, including the original Articles of Incorporation. It consists of two folders, one arranged chronologically and the other containing miscellaneous undated material. John Fischer, one of the first LTC members, served as chairman in the group's early years, as well as treasurer early on and later. His subseries contains correspondence with founder John Tanton and early LTC documents and writings, including newspaper stories on the group's initial efforts.
