The materials in this collection are mostly papers related to ACT UP/LA like Women’s Caucus meeting minutes, flyers for actions, publications and reports, and photographs from actions. There is also a large amount of clippings reporting on HIV/AIDS and ACT UP. The small series of personal papers includes autobiographical writings, ID cards, resumes, certificates and plaques.

The series of publications is made up of reports, health studies, AIDS and women’s health related newsletters, magazines, newspapers, and zines.

The photographs in this collection are of ACT UP actions and protests, with some personal photos of Mary and Nancy. Materials were not in any original order except for photos in albums and grouped by which protests they document. Materials were arranged by type, and when possible, by year.

Some materials were digitized due to mold damage. These materials mostly consist of letters related to ACT UP/LA, as well as ACT UP/LA documents about the new County AIDS Clinic.
