The Willamette University Medical Department records consist of two handwritten, leather-bound volumes.
Volume I (1878 February 8-1896 September 14) contains the minutes of the Oregon Medical College stockholders, Board of Directors, and faculty; and enrollment records for the Willamette University Medical Department for the years 1878-79 through 1895-96 and alumni lists. Two news clippings are attached to the inside cover and first page, and a photocopied, typewritten mailing list is attached to the back page.

Volume II contains Willamette University Medical Department faculty meeting minutes, dated 1878 June 18-1888 May 28. A photocopy of an examination of jurisprudence was loose in the volume; it was removed to a folder during processing. Some minutes are taken in shorthand. Minutes in this volume record the irreconcilable differences between members of the faculty and their formal resignations on April 8, 1887,
