The collection consists of two runs of 66 journals, 122 total, housed in a single archival box.

The content includes theological reflections, novitiate and provincial news, and comics. Young Dominican ceased publication in 1968 when the novitiate relocated to Dubuque, Iowa.

The collection is organized chronologically and contains two complete runs of the journal. Due to the fragility of the materials, one complete run is kept as a reference copy.
