Guide includes an index to the collection and an introduction by Joan Nestle, co-founder of the Lesbian Herstory Archives.

Newsletters spanning four decades of women's activism including significant organizational publications representing groups throughout the United States. The nearly 300 titles have been carefully selected for rarity, significance, and completeness from more than 1,500 titles in the Archive's collection. Selected titles represent a broad range of lesbian political and social activist organizations and feature examples of longstanding lesbian or LGBT groups, as well as many that did not survive beyond a few years of activity.
