Over 300 repositories are listed, whether they responded to Southeastern's survey or not; over 175 of these responded to the survey. Repositories listed are specifically those which own original historical materials (e.g., letters, diaries, ledgers, business records, scrapbooks, maps, blueprints, photographs, video or audio tapes, motion picture film, etc.).

Full listings (if repositories included the information on the survey) include mailing address, street address (if different); ways to contact the repository, including telephone, fax, email, and web site information; hours, admission, and handicapped accessibility, geographical area covered, size of collection, and dates spanned by the collection.
