The Augustana College Prohibition League records, 1910-1918 and undated, is arranged into five series: Membership, Finances, Propaganda, Oration, and Articles.

The Membership series (1910-1915 and undated) contains a constitution of the Illinois Intercollegiate Prohibition Association, nine membership cards for joining the movement, two volumes of Augustana Prohibition League minutes, and an introductory letter from the Augustana chapter.

The Propaganda series (1914-1915) contains articles and purported evidence of the effects of liquor on both community and personal lives. Included are pamphlets describing the prohibition movement in a university setting and local articles such as "Relation of Rock Island Saloons to the County" and "Temperance Work at Augustana." This series also includes a booklet describing one of the group's seminal projects, a survey of liquor traffic and advantageous locations of saloons in Rock Island.

The Oration series (1914) contains programs and articles regarding the 1914 state-wide Prohibition Association competition held at Augustana College, including a program in Swedish.

The Articles series (1913-1918) contains a handwritten draft of the Phrenokosmian Society's weekly paper that focuses on Prohibition as well as articles from the 1914 Spring edition of Temperance. Also included in this series is a 1918 full-page newspaper advertisement on "Why Should I Vote Dry?"
