The Joann Osterud Logbooks and Scrapbooks is a collection of seven flight logbooks and two scrapbooks documenting Osterud's career as a pilot, dating from 1968-1986.

The earliest book records Osterud's flights as a student pilot. Flights in the early 1970s include many out of Boeing Field (King County International Airport) in a Cessna 150A. Later logs document her work as a pilot primarily flying at airshows. Planes flown include Piper J-3 Cub and Stephens Akro. Her work for Alaska Airlines from 1975-1978 is documented in its own logbook, while records from her time with United Airlines, where she flew Boeing 727s, are a in log from 1976-1986 which includes other flying as well. One book is specific to parachuting jumps, dated 1969-1970.

There also two scrapbooks compiled by Joann's mother, Dorothy "Dottie" Osterud. The scrapbooks document Joann and her family and provide a broad focus on her life and activities that cover more than her aviation career. The first scrapbook includes materials from primarily 1968 through 1970. Materials include assorted printed ephemera for activities throughout the years, including museum and performance ticket stubs, napkins, and brochures; greeting cards and correspondence; and travel mementos such as maps, postcards, and fliers. There are also numerous clippings, many of which are from the Seattle Times. The clippings cover a variety of topics, including Joann's educator work as well as her flying career; Dorothy Osterud and additional people who are possibly family and/or friends; and news and events of interest. Two photographs are present as well. One is a black-and-white portrait that depicts four people in Melrose, Massachusetts and is likely the Osterud family. It is the only item dated 1958. The other print is in color and depicts Osterud in front of her aircraft at the Snohomish air show in 1969. The second scrapbook is only partially filled and materials range from 1972-1973. It contains very similar materials to the first scrapbook, although it holds no photographic materials.

A loose 11x-17-inch color print is also present. The undated print depicts Joann Osterud in an office setting. She is wearing a blue blazer and a picture of a red and white aircraft is visible on the wall behind her. A few “Osterud Aviation Airshows” postcards are also present in the collection.
