The collection contains subject files related to these issues, as well as training and resource materials for, and collected by, volunteers. There are also organizational records, including a policy manual, forms and statistics; Board materials, including meeting agendas and minutes and financial records; materials from related projects; “Speaking Freely on Sex” columns; brochures; flyers for events; articles about SFSI; photographs of Pride parades and leather parades, staff and volunteers; and a banner.
