The collection includes records relating to the design, implementation, and maintenance of the database; the development of the primary data collection instrument; and the ongoing training and consultation between the CFPN, Department of Children and Family Services of the Los Angeles County, and the Family Preservation Archives.

The Family Preservation Archives, headed by Dr. Barbara Solomon, is a collection of data gathered from community-based family preservation networks (CFPNs) in Los Angeles County. As of 2008, the Family Preservation Archives documented over 4000 families or "cases." From 2002 to 2007, this collection was stored at the Hamovitch Research Center in the School of Social Work at the University of Southern California.
