The majority of the files were deposited into the modern records system run by the Geological Society, resulting in some material being destroyed as part of the destruction schedules (ie correspondence). There being no original file order left, the extant material was arranged according to each chronological phase of the Institution of Geologists.

Some parts of the collection, in particular material relating to committees, are incomplete from c 1987 onwards. Members of committees usually served two years, later expanded to three years by the mid 1980s. The lack of records after 1987 may then indicate the last serving committee members had not turned in their records after their tenure, as the IG was going to be merging with GS in 1990/1991.
