The records of the Indiana University Student Religious Cabinet consist primarily of meeting notes and publications for the group from 1938 to 1951.

Drafts of the meeting minutes exist from 1938 to 1950. Many of these notes were formatted as reports to the University Committee on Religion. Minutes from the very first meeting, which took place on October 2, 1938 are included. Some interesting topics discussed by the group during these years included what attitude the Cabinet should have toward cheating on exams, how to better include African American students in the organization, as well as how to bolster morale during the United States' involvement in World War II. A few of the many activities sponsored by the group included tea in the Union for the international students on campus, a refugee student fund, a race relations conference, and the organization of a religious program for military trainees during the summer of 1942. Another interesting event that is mentioned in a meeting note from 1942 was in regards to a Dr. Hill who spoke at a Convocation and Colloquy hosted by the Cabinet. According to one member of the Cabinet, he was the first African American man to ever address a large gathering at an Indiana University event.

A bound set of minutes covers 1940 to 1948. While the attendance sheets only span October 1941 through the summer of 1943, around forty students are listed on each roster. One topic of interest among these minutes include whether or not Japanese-American students should be admitted to the university in the fall semester of 1942. Herman B Wells was reportedly concerned with their safety, if allowed to enroll. Also of interest is the inclusion of a pamphlet listing the war time activities of the University Committee on Religion and the Student Religious Cabinet, which was created at the request of the Indiana University War History Project. Twenty-two activities are listed in this pamphlet. From writing letters to mothers of IU students who had joined the war to conducting classes on the topics of "The Issues of War and Peace," the Cabinet was actively involved in attempting to inspire morale among university students during the war.

Other materials of note include Student Religious Cabinet publications and programs. The Voice of Religion on Indiana University Campus spans from September 1941 to January 1947 and includes two basic sections: a list of upcoming events and a weekly schedule of colloquies, church services, prayer groups, etc. Additionally, other publications such as The Campus Home Front and Communique centered around the war effort seeking to build morale among students and announce opportunities for students to take part in study groups, workshops and events. Noteworthy programs represented in the collection include A War-time Victory for Brotherhood which consisted of events over a month-long period "aimed to promote understanding" of the war and its effects. These lectures, colloquies, films and prayer meetings are categorized as being either "inter-racial," "inter-national," or "inter-religious."
