This series consists of records generated by Campus Action directly pertaining to its administrative functions, either on paper or stored on the hard drive of the main computer. Included are meeting agendas, minutes, memoranda, and organizational records such as by-laws and procedures. In addition, the series includes materials related to several fundraising methods explored by Campus Action, from holding dances to applying for grants. This series contains some correspondence, but this largely consists of mailings to members and related organizations rather than internal correspondence.

This series contains records generated for events sponsored and organized by Campus Action. These events are primarily conferences, including the biannual conference held by Campus Action as well as other conferences in which Campus Action participated. Paper materials usually include some form of sign-in sheet, notes, schedules, correspondence, fliers, leaflets, and other handouts. Electronic documents include more of the same, along with lists of all attendees.

This series includes the variety of publications generated by Campus Action. These include the major publications of Campus Action, such as theCampus Action News newsletter, the Activist Directory, and the Alternative Internship Directory. In some cases these publications consist of the original master copies created for photocopying. When a final version of a publication was available, it was retained instead of these master copies. This series also includes numerous fliers, individual subject guides, conference materials, leaflets, and other handouts intended for campus distribution.

The materials in this series relate to issues of interest to Campus Action. These files contain collected publications, news clippings, articles, fliers, webpages, correspondence, and other materials related to the individual topics of interest. Particularly well documented in the paper records of Campus Action is the issue of date rape on university campuses. Campus Action's opposition to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq is particularly well documented in the electronic records, with related defenses of detainees in the civil rights and racism sections. Represented here are also materials created by other campus groups that worked with Campus Action including the Black and Latino Network; Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network; and the NETWORK student organization. The case of Ali Yaghi is also documented in the electronic records. Yaghi, an Albany resident and owner of a pizza shop, was arrested just days after 9/11. He was detained on the basis of a tip by a passerby, who claimed to have heard Yaghi making anti-American statements. Yaghi was detained for months and though eventually cleared of all allegations related to terrorism, he was deported to his native Jordan because of his immigration status.
