Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The National Abortion Rights Action League of Iowa records date from 1990 to 2001 and measure 12.25 linear inches. The bulk of the collection consists of albums, administrative notebooks, printed materials, and artifacts.

The Albums (1990-1995) contain photographs, newspaper clippings, event pamphlets and flyers, newsletters, and mailings. Many of the photographs and newspaper clippings are about local rallies and events promoting abortion rights.

The Board of Directors Notebooks (1990-1996) consist of two administrative binders with staff lists and directories, job descriptions, by-laws, mission statements, agendas and meeting minutes, monthly reports, and treasurer's reports.

The Printed Materials (1996-2001) include one local pamphlet, the 1996 Report on Reproductive Services and Education in the State of Iowa. The rest of the publications in this series were produced by the national NARAL organization and NARAL of Oregon. They cover statistics, women's personal stories of abortion, sex education, fake clinics, emergency contraception for rape survivors, reproductive services for women of color, state-by-state reviews, and national campaigns.

The Artifacts (1995-1998) include buttons, stickers, a tote bag, a plaque for "Outstanding Volunteer Run Organization," and a signed photograph of Rob Reiner for a fundraiser auction. The Videocassettes (undated) include Lincoln's Living Legacy, which describes the 1963 March on Washington and its impact on future marches, including the 1992 March for Women's Lives. NARAL Promoting Reproductive Choice includes four commercials titled "I Believe," "Diver," "Bike" and "My Body." The last video, NARAL Tribute to Justice Harry Blackmun describes Blackmun's role in the Roe v. Wade decision with interviews from many people who knew him personally.
