The material mainly consists of handwritten translations of Buddhist texts by Gogerly and others, handwritten Pali-English dictionaries, and later correspondence concerning their publication.

The series contains 6 of Gogerly's translations of different Jātaka stories. In Theravāda Buddhism, the jātakas (c. 4th century BCE) are a textual division of the Pāli Canon, included in the Khuḍḍaka Nikāya ('Minor Collection') of the Sutta Piṭaka - the second group of the Pāli collection of Buddhist writings. The term mainly refers to the stories of Gautama Buddha's previous lives, in both human and animal form. The Theravāda jātakas comprise about 547 poems, arranged roughly by increasing number of verses. They are written in a poetical form, the verses consisting of four to six lines, and are devided into chapters called nipātas.

The sub-series consists of the draft and the final version of Gogerly's translation of the Kuśa jātaka. This jātaka is included in the ancient, canonical collection of Buddha's birth stories preserved in the Pāli language and datable to the early centuries CE. It tells the story of a bodhisattva, or a future Buddha, appearing as a king Kuśa.
