The Iowa Coalition against Sexual Assault records date from 1979 to 2000 and measure 3 linear feet. The records are arranged in four series: Administrative files, Training, Related organizations, and Resources.

Administrative files (1979-1999) is the largest series, and accounts for over half the collection. It includes mission statements, committee meeting agendas, newsletters, quarterly reports, newspaper clippings, brochures, and memoranda. The Pornography Task Force folders include magazine articles, newspaper clippings, and lectures from the mid-1980s. The correspondence folders contain letters from rape crisis centers throughout Iowa, which describe the financial and staffing problems of crisis centers during the late 1970s. The series includes notes and agendas from staff, membership, and board of directors meetings. Aggregated data on sexual crimes reported throughout Iowa between 1986 and 1991 complete the series.

The Training series (1982-1989) contains manuals, conference materials, and course information related to educational outreach programs. This series contains training materials for people who work with victims of sexual abuse and assault and for the general public.

The Related organizations series (1983-2000) includes materials from federal, state, and local programs and organizations that interacted with the Iowa Coalition against Sexual Assault. This series contains federal reports on victim assistance programs, grant materials, newsletters, correspondence, and agendas. Two issues of The National Coalition against Sexual Assault newsletter from 1983 and 1984 complete this series.

The Resources series (1986-1999) includes legal records, correspondence, newspaper clippings, academic articles, and professional handbooks for people who assist victims of physical abuse, sexual assault, homophobia, or racism. This series contains a booklet, Crime Victims and the Media (1990), prepared by the National Victim Crime Center. Brochures and pamphlets that advertise the services provided by the Iowa Coalition against Sexual Assault complete the series.
