The summer catalog represents the most official publication of St. Cloud State. Dating back to 1904, but is predominantly from 1937 to 1960, the catalog describes the purpose of the university, admission requirements, classes and class descriptions, tuition and fees, buildings and grounds, and faculty.

Summer catalogs from the 1920s and 1930s are bound together with the undergraduate catalogs.

Most of the catalogs are bound together by year.

The summer catalogs are a combination of class schedules as well as information found in the course catalogs. The collection of class schedules contains summer class schedules/catalogs between 1960 and the present. Publications in this collection dated after 1960 are duplicates.

This collection contains the records of the Camera Kraft Club. Included is one book of meeting minutes, one photo album, and one club yearbook.

The Chronicle is a student published newspaper at St. Cloud State University. A wide variety of topics are covered including campus events, athletics, and people, as well as the St. Cloud community itself.

Times published per year varied over time, from twice a month to twice a week to once a month. The last printed issue dates was in April 2017, but printing of a physical issue began again in March 2019 and ended in March 2020. Issues were then born digital until April 2021. As of the spring of 2024, the Chronicle is entirely online.

Series four contains negatives, contact sheets, and photographs that appeared in each issue of the Chronicle from 1970 to 1990. Only a very small number of images appeared in each issue, yet there are images from a story that were not used or for images that did not make the final copy of the Chronicle.

The Bulletin was published by the university four times a year, including one to two issues a year published as a literary journal. Articles were articles written by St. Cloud State faculty and staff. Topics often related to and about St. Cloud State, and some were not. Article titles are listed in the finding aid by issue.

This collection does not contain all of the issues for each volume. The remaining issues for each volume are the course catalogs for the undergraduate, graduate and summer programs. Thus, all of the publications with the title "Bulletin" had two different purposes - one as a literary journal for St. Cloud State faculty and staff, and the other as course catalogs.

The last bulletin which appeared as a literary journal, was published in January 1960. The course catalogs, still named "Bulletin," continued to be numbered until 1969/70, when the last volume to appear was volume 25.
