The series currently includes promotional materials of the Under The Trees exhibition series, which was presented by the Hong Kong Institute of Education in collaboration with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, and organized by the Hong Kong Museum of Education and the Hong Kong Museum of History over the course of 2010 and 2011.

The Under The Trees exhibition series is a showcase of the findings of a collaborative research project conducted by the Hong Kong Museum of History and Hong Kong Institute of Education in 2006 on the development of rural education in Hong Kong. There were two exhibitions. The first exhibition, Under The Trees: The History of Hong Kong Village Schools, was on display at the Hong Kong Museum of Education between 14 May 2010 and 31 March 2011; whereas the second exhibition, Under The Trees: People and Stories from Village Schools, was held at the Hong Kong Museum of History from 21 July to 27 September 2010.

The series currently consists of published materials of The Education University of Hong Kong Foundation ("The EdUHK Foundation") Thanksgiving Reception cum Scholarship Presentation Ceremony held on 3 May 2019, to recognise students with demonstrated academic excellence or outstanding performance in non-academic areas, and express gratitude to the unfailing support of donors during the 2018/19 academic year. Officiating at the ceremony were Professor Frederick Ma Si-hang, then Council Chairman of the University and The EdUHK Foundation, and Professor Stephen Cheung Yan-leung, President of The Education University of Hong Kong. Over 300 friends and supporters of the University, including leading figures from the business and education sectors, as well as staff and scholarship recipients, were in attendance. The year also saw the awarding of about 800 scholarships worth over HK$24 million - a record high for the University.

This series consists of records generated, received or accumulated by the research and administrative activities of the Office, which mainly document HKIEd’s strategic development planning, working progress on University title, HKIEd academic development, UGC visits and the organisation of strategic events such as senior management retreat and roundtables of presidents of universities of education.

This series consists of meeting papers, minutes, circulation, and correspondences of the School of Foundations in Education.

The series relates to the academic works of the School. Subjects and activities covered by the documents include curriculum, module revision, programme examiner, programme re-validation; student exchange programme, appointment of professor, student disciplinary and fund application.

This series also documented the membership and works of several committees within the School, including the Advisory Committee on Primary Teacher Education, Student Disciplinary Committee; and School Projects; Initiative Funding Committee; Academic Validation and Monitoring Committee; and Academic Planning and Development Committee.

This series consists of project proposals, design layout plans, meeting notes, correspondence, cost estimates, budget plans, questionnaires and application forms for a variety of matters, relating to the preliminary activities undertaken by the Proposed Community Creative Arts Complex Project Planning Committee in order to obtain funding from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust for the proposed Community Creative Arts Complex Project ("CCA Complex Project").

The CCA Complex Project proposed to synergize the educational and artistic expertise of the Hong Kong Institute of Education ("HKIEd") with local arts organisations to enhance the cultural well-being of the north-east district of the New Territories. The ultimate goal of the CCA Complex Project, as the Project title suggests, was to lead to the construction of a Community Creative Arts Complex within HKIEd's Tai Po campus. However, the CCA Complex Project fell through and the construction was unable to come true.

The series consists of both administrative and programme records of the Association of Lecturers at Colleges of Education dated 1966 to 1985, including meeting notices and minutes, constitutions, bank statements, financial reports, correspondence, newsletters, and members' lists; in addition to published materials of the Hong Kong Institute of Education's Development Blueprint dated 2007.
