But seven series were identified easily, with details in the additional items notes field to be used as a finding aid for researchers. Subsequently, the collection contained numerous overseas newspapers , predominantly the Hollenbeck Heights News from Los Angeles between 1932-1934. During appraisal, it was decided that the newspapers had no relationship to the Soccer Club, nor were necessary to retain. These newspapers can be sourced externally via Trove or similar databases. They were disposed and what remained were three distinct series of records: Minutes of the Management Committee Meetings of the NSW Federation of Soccer Clubs, photographs of Hakoah Soccer Club and relevant ephemera such as posters and newspaper cuttings relating to the Soccer Club.
