The Los Angeles Commission on Assault Against Women Collection comprises documents relating to sexual violence, prevention, intervention, and survivor care. Materials range from 1971-1988. The bulk of the materials were compiled as part of a 1987 training held by the LACAAW. These materials consist of informational articles, fact sheets, and pamphlets on a range of topics related to sexual assault including domestic violence, child abuse, and rape. The materials also consist of informational and training documents on self-defense, LACAAW’s crisis line, peer counseling, medical care, legal defense strategies, and other resources for survivors in Los Angeles. Notes on training sessions are included in the materials. A catalog of Carolyn Gage’s theatrical productions is also included in the collection. The catalog is undated although it references productions as late as 1993.
