This series includes records related to the administration of the Museum of Biblical Art (MoBiA). There are files related to the actions of the Board of Trustees. These include minutes and agendas of each meeting from 2005 to the dissolution of the Board in 2015. Such documents relate to MoBiA's finances and the goals for the future of the museum. There are also records of each individual member of the Board of Trustees, which include financial contributions and correspondence.

In addition, there are several files that concern the relationship between MoBiA and the American Bible Society (ABS). These include lease agreements since MoBiA was located within the American Bible Society headquarters as well as financial agreements. There are also documents regarding the two institutions' different visions for the future of their relationship and how these differences progress over the years.

Records pertaining to the other administrative aspects of the museum are also present. These related to MoBiA's committees which played a part in the planning of new exhibitions; the strategies that MoBiA should pursue to reach new audiences; the attempts to find a new location for the museum; and the financial goals for the institution. There are also miscellaneous reports, correspondence, and other documents related to other aspects of MoBiA's administration.

This series includes records related to the planning and actualization of several exhibitions that the Museum of Biblical Art displayed. The majority of the files relate to exhibitions that were put on after MoBiA became its own organization in 2005. Therefore, there are relatively few records regarding exhibitions that were on display when it was the Gallery of the American Bible Society from 1997 to 2004. Nevertheless, the number of exhibitions following this period appears to be complete, as there are no gaps in the exhibitions until the museum closes in 2015.

The amount of information regarding each exhibition varies in quantity. However, generally, most files will include the loan agreements, condition reports, checklists, exhibition contracts, shipping information, and climate reports for each exhibition. In addition, there may be label designs, research documents, wall layout plans, and installation strategies as well. There is also much correspondence related to the acquisition of certain works of art and the requests to other institutions for such pieces. If an exhibition travelled beyond its time at MoBiA, then there will be files pertaining to the planning and the condition reports related to that.

Catalogues were prepared for some of the exhibitions that MoBiA organized and the files hold a copy of those. There are also records related to the development of the catalogue, including planning for works to be featured, the photos to be used, and the scholars that would participate in its publication. At times, there are also files regarding the organization of symposiums and lectures for an exhibition. If there are any unusual or significant additional items in the files, then these will be noted in the Scope and Content note at the folder level below.

There are some exhibition files that include photographs, however, these are not of the actual exhibitions. Instead, the photos are largely included with condition reports in order to detail certain aspects of a piece for such reports.

This series includes numerous press clippings regarding MoBiA's exhibitions and the museum in general. The clippings are organized into booklets depending on either their year of publication or their topic. From 2002 onwards, these booklets are increasingly organized by exhibition. It is important to note that before 2005, these clippings were usually divided into separate booklets as media logs and press clipping archives, but afterwards are organized into one booklet as a press clippings archive.

This series contains programs and brochures created for MoBiA and its projects. These are usually created for each individual exhibition and they include postcards, pamphlets, and leaflets for the visitors of the museum. There are limited items for the earliest exhibitions during the period that MoBiA was the Gallery at the American Bible Society. There may be multiple duplicates for some of the items.
