This series consists of official PEF publications, as well as publications produced by other entities collected by PEF.
Statewide PEF publications include <i>The Communicator</i>, PEF's official newspaper. The Communicator usually appeared monthly, although during some periods it was published semi-monthly. The run of <i>The Communicator</i> in this series is near-complete for the periods from 1979 through 1990 and from May 1994 through January 1999. There are numerous other statewide PEF publications as well, including <i>Steward News</i>, <i>Contract Update</i>, and newsletters for the women's and retirees' programs. In addition to these statewide publications, there are select issues of regional and divisional news publications.
Non-PEF publications include newsletters produced by the New York Office of Employee Relations and the Civil Service Department.
Statewide PEF publications are alphabetized by title. Publications produced by specific regions or divisions, as well as non-PEF publications, are alphabetized first by the name of the entity that produced them, then by title. There are several folders containing publications with more than one title - for example, the "Contracts Newsletter" folder and folders that contain newsletters from multiple regions and divisions. These folders are given titles that indicate the source of the publications.
Committee or task force reports that were professionally printed for distribution are not included in this series. They can be found with the files of their respective creators in other series. For example, reports printed for PEF conventions are found in Series 4, under the heading of the convention at which they were distributed.
- Arrangement:
- Arranged alphabetically by publication, then chronologically.
