Correspondence and draft language for clinical practice management plans for medical and dental schools. "Collected Materials" also consist of correspondence, proposals, and draft agreements, and were put in chronological order during processing. There are substantial gaps within the time periods covered by each folder. There are also large gaps (sometimes a year or more) between the dates of some materials and when UUP received them. The date of receipt by UUP was used when determining chronological order. There is a limited amount of materials on clinical practice management plans included with the negotiations materials for individual contracts found in Series 1 in this Subgroup.

Evelyn Hartman was appointed UUP's chief negotiator in January 1977. In a prior organization effort, these files were labeled as her negotiations files, however with the exception of only a few files, they do not specifically relate to UUP negotiations nor is there any indication of how (or if) Hartman used or referred to these files during negotiations. They appear to be more reference files. This subseries includes third-party reports, including materials prepared by New York State United Teachers, and other education unions such as the National Education Association and state bargaining organizations; correspondence; copies of legislation; and announcements issued by SUNY. Materials dated prior to 1975 relate mostly to NYSUT, local school board/district conflicts (particularly in Rochester), community colleges, assistance provided by NYSUT to universities other than SUNY that were seeking to organize, and collective bargaining issues in general, as well as material distributed at training sessions and workshops for union representatives and negotiators. Also included are informational pamphlets and materials regarding various topics such as affirmative action that were prepared for distribution to union organizations to educate them about the issues and employees rights. Correspondence between NYSUT and its field representatives is also common.

Correspondence from UUP members to chief negotiator Thomas Corigliano and UUP's President, Tim Reilly, expressing concerns they would like covered in new contract; correspondence among negotiations team and negotiations committee; draft proposals and agreements; transcripts of negotiations sessions not included in main negotiations files for this contract included in Series 1 of this Subgroup; news reports regarding contract settlements between state and other public employee unions; third-party reports; reference files on issues under negotiation; and handwritten notes. These were the files of chief negotiator Thomas Corigliano. The materials were not filed in any overall order; often there was no identifying information on the folders in which they were found and many of the materials were not in folders at all. Folder titles with quotation marks indicate original folder titles; all other folder titles were assigned during processing and often contain overlapping materials and overlap in date.

Correspondence, information regarding crisis situation and demonstrations regarding the lack of a contract; subject files for particular issues under consideration in contract; and table-taken notes of chief negotiator Thomas Matthews. Omitted were materials from past negotiations, such as the transcripts from the 1991-1995 negotiations sessions and copies of past state and UUP proposals, that Matthews had in his files, but which are available in Series 1 of this Subgroup.

Advertisements produced by UUP to coincide with sessions of the state legislature and to raise public awareness of SUNY's needs. Campaigns often focused on the impact of budget cuts on SUNY students and the impact the SUNY system has on the future of New York State. Some "legislative giveaways" carrying the legislative campaign message, as well as some oversized versions of various campaigns are included with the memorabilia in Series 9 of this Subgroup. Television and radio advertisements that accompanied various advertising campaigns are included in the video and audio tapes in Series 6 of this Subgroup. Tentative dates were assigned for some of the materials in this subseries based on information provided by members of UUP's Communications Department.

Compilations produced sporadically in the 1980s and 1990s of news articles "printed in commercial and UUP affiliate publications which reflect the union's activities and interests in communities across the state and in the state capital [as well as] activities that might be useful for information or reprinting in chapter newsletters". When produced, "UUP in the News" was distributed at Delegate Assemblies.

Programs; task force reports, brochures for members, scholarships, and awards; and other printed materials used for both internal purposes and to publicly disseminate UUP's mission and positions on various issues. Some of the materials in this subseries were not actually produced by UUP's Communications Department, but have been grouped here for ease of access. Some of the materials in this subseries are also found with the memorabilia in Series 9 of this Subgroup. Tentative dates were assigned for some of the materials in this subseries based on information provided by members of UUP's Communications Department.

To celebrate its twentieth anniversary in 1993 and its twenty-fifth anniversary in 1998, UUP created an "Archives Room" at its Winter Delegate Assemblies those years. The twenty-fifth anniversary "Archives Room" used the photographs displayed in the twentieth anniversary "Archives Room", supplemented by additional photographs, mounted reproductions of documents, a mounted "time-line" identifying the officers and members of the Executive Board during each presidential administration, various artifacts, and a continuous-run slide projection of UUP photographs. The majority of the photographs are black and white prints, and are roughly arranged by date. Some of the photographs were displayed with captions and in addition to the photographs themselves, photocopies of the photographs with their captions are included in this series.

Mounted photographs from a display created for Winter 2000 Delegate Assembly. Photographs with captions were originally part of the twentieth and twenty-fifth anniversary "Archives Room" displays. Some photographs for this exhibit were also obtained from the photographs in Series 7 and photocopies of those photographs have been included in this subseries.
