The series contains copies of the National Urban League publications such as the newsletter, "To Be Equal", the annual reports of the NUL and published reports commissioned by the NUL such as The State of Black America. The records maintained in this series are part of the ongoing correspondence between the national headquarters and its Albany area affiliate. Of the three series, this has the most depth in that the records are almost complete and in some instance they predate the Urban League of Northeastern New York.

The series contains records of the AVE program. The program was funded through a grant provided by the New York State Department of Education. The goal of the program was to develop life and career skills in "youth-at-risk" of not completing their education. The participants were engaged in a series of temporary placements to explore career options and further clarify their goals.
