Account books, ledgers, record books, invoice books, and an abstract and letter book.

There are additional volumes located in the Printed Materials and Manuscript Volumes series.

The Volumes series consists of 4 bound volumes related to Wood's work in the Methodist Church and his writing on the history of the Church.

The company's nomenclature for some of the account books was not apparent, and it was necessary to substitute titles that it is hoped are approximately accurate, if not always precise. In addition, there was some difficulty in distinguishing between those volumes that belonged to the main office at Wilmington and those that belonged to other offices and subsidiaries. The company was a complex operation, and its accounting procedures changed over the years. Many volumes did not have labels.

The Volumes Series contains primarily the financial records of the company, although there are also time books, check stubs, inventories, stock certificates, letter books, and dye house records. Many items date to George M. Graham’s service as secretary and treasurer of the Durham Hosiery Company.

This series includes correspondence, research documents, pamplets, court cases, and other materials which have been bound together into volumes. There are three separate series of volumes, which were numbered, and all of which are incomplete.
