The collection consists of scattered documentation of the school and foundation. Annual reports span only 1888 through 1903. Photographs have been removed to the Photograph Collection. The collection is arranged in two series:

Series I, Sarah Fuller Home for Little Deaf Children, 1888-1926, undated, contains annual reports, brochures, correspondence, deeds, leaflets, and meeting minutes from the original home, before it became the Sarah Fuller Foundation and merged with Boston Children’s Hospital. Of special notes is correspondence from Alexander Graham Bell to Sarah Fuller, and a published booklet entitled Leaves from an Orchard: A Visit to the Sarah Fuller Home, by Edith Parker Jordan, describing the school in words and illustrations.

Series II, Sarah Fuller Foundation for Little Deaf Children, 1951-1972, undated, contains materials from the Advisory Committee for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, annual and quarterly reports, brochures, correspondence, the Cued Speech Project, financial materials, lists of officers, overview materials, press clippings, and materials from the Speech Research Laboratory. Items of note include the agreement made between the Sarah Fuller Foundation, The Children’s Hospital, and The Children’s Medical Center, Inc. in 1957. There are also notes from a talk given to department heads about the foundation in 1960. One piece of ephemera is a card made for Esther Shapiro upon her retirement in 1962.
