Established in 1959 to assist in the preservation and restoration of Pennsylvania's covered wooden bridges and to promote the study of their construction and history, the Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Society accumulates and records data on both the existing structures and those that have been destroyed or removed. The covered bridge file, which is the largest part of the collection, contains folders, filed by county, with data on each covered bridge. Photographs, brochures, and clippings are included. The collection also holds an administrative file, county maps, and copies of the society's publication, Portals.
