The text Action Impact: A Manual For Family Planning Advocates published in 1988 by the organization details the manner in which family planning field operators could make legislative and organizational recommendations. The origins of the organization are outlined with a brief history called "Family Planning Advocates of New York State, Inc...How It All Began". The policy folders trace the issues of contraception, teenage pregnancy, parental consent for abortion, infant mortality rates, preventative care, and sex education. These issues were reported by the media and researched by local and federal government departments. The issues contained in the files ultimately were adopted as Family Planning Advocates' policies as recommendations to reproductive organizations and to legislators for state and federal guidelines and laws. Information on legislative activity is found in update sheets and as agenda brochures outlining the schedule and speakers used at issues conferences. This material document how the state legislature was enacting laws and debating issues in conference that would impact the organization's monies and policies. The personnel policies dating from 1979 appear to be the typewritten original document of "Personnel Policies and Practices for Salaried Employees", outlining the employment practices of the organization as it affected the staff. Also in the Administrative series are the minutes of meetings. The minutes are not of the general membership, but of the Executive Committee mostly, interspersed with the minutes of the annual Board meeting. Any documents that were used for focus in the meetings by either the Executive Committee or the Board of Directors are included and affixed to the minutes of the meeting when they were used. There are two alphabetical arrangements of the records in this series - those transferred in 1990 and those transferred in 2004 and 2006. Administrative records including Board and Executive Committee meeting minutes and other materials, particularly from the late 1980s-2000, can be found in the Correspondence series as those documents were mailed to the relevant constituencies.

This collection contains records of the activities of Dr. Alice P. Green from her days as a student of criminal justice at the University at Albany, SUNY, through her career as founder and executive director of the Center for Law and Justice in Albany.

This series is made up almost entirely of news clippings with reference to Dr. Green. Loose clippings have been photocopied onto acid-free paper for preservation, while shorter newsletters have been kept in their entirety. The collection begins sparsely in the mid-1960s and becomes increasingly dense as Dr. Green furthers her career and becomes better known in the Capital District. While the collection covers a wide variety of newspaper mentions about Dr. Green and her actions, highlights include her role as chair of the NAACP's Legal Redress Committee, during which she became involved in high-profile murder and race relations cases in 1984 and 1985; her part as a founder and member of a police watchdog group in Albany from 1986 through 1990; and her much-publicized protests at the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day events hosted by Governor Pataki from 1995 through 1999. As a high-profile criminologist in Albany, Dr. Green is often consulted on justice and civil liberties issues as they touch the Capital District. Some of the news clippings do not mention Dr. Green directly but are related to issues and activities she was directly involved in. The series also contains certificates and awards granted to Dr. Green and the programs and announcements that accompanied these honors.
