The Wesley College Records are organized into the following series: Presidential Papers, Administrative and Financial Records, Education, Programs and Publications, Assorted Materials, and Photographs. The Presidential Papers are further divided into two subseries: Edward P. Robertson and Other Wesley College Presidents. These contain correspondence and related documents of the various presidents of the school. Robertson served as president for 32 years, retiring in 1931, and guided Wesley College during its affiliation with the University of North Dakota and subsequent relocation to Grand Forks. His correspondence spans most years of his presidency as well as his years as President Emeritus. Other presidents of Wesley College were Charles L. Wallace (1931-1939), T. Ross Hicks (1940-1946), Marcus J. Birrell (1947-1957), C. Maxwell Brown (acting president; 1957-1958), Phillips Moulton (1958-1963), and Wesley Sheffield (1963-1965). The collection includes the former Orin G. Libby Manuscript Collection 18 (Wesley College) and records from the Wesley College buildings. Many financial records were destroyed according to the State Board of Higher Education Records Disposition Schedule.
