An inventory exists for the documents separated from the scrapbook, which are housed in a folder with the scrapbook. These items may have once been in the scrapbook as well. The collection contains two broadsides discussing the recruitment of African American troops, two cards inviting Alberger to attend military dinners, and correspondence from Buffalo Sheriff R. H. Best to Alberger regarding suppression of city riots and attendance at an Independence Day celebration. The collection also includes two notices from Buffalo's freemason lodge notifying Alberger of meetings. The content of the bound scrapbook has not been inventoried.
