Black and white and color photographs of individuals, meetings (committees, Executive Board, Delegate Assemblies, workshops, and other gatherings), picketing, lobbying, and news conferences. Photographs are from statewide as well as campus-specific events, with the President, other officers, Executive Board members, and others actively involved in UUP frequently pictured (although often not identified). Therefore, while some photographs are specifically filed by individual, frequently statewide leaders and other persons active in UUP appear in photographs filed by event or committee. Photographs of specific activities were sometimes filed both under the name of the committee responsible for the activity (such as Negotiations Committee or Elections and Credentials Committee) as well as under the name of the event itself (such as Negotiations or Elections).

This series contains news clippings typically pertaining to Senator Ronald Stafford and his legislation. Clippings from 1987-1990 as well as some from 1984 were originally kept in binders titled Senator Clips. Others were loose pages kept in a separate box.

This series is composed of scrapbooks from the Oneida County CSEA Chapter and secretary of Local 767, Dorothy Dutton. The scrapbooks generally include news clippings, photographs, flyers, notices, etc. Photographs were removed from scrapbooks 2, 3, and 4 for preservation reasons.

This series contains VHS tapes, audio cassette tapes, and reels of interviews and speeches Senator Ronald Stafford gave while in office.

The membership series contains materials produced by CSEA headquarters for its members. It contains resource manuals on a variety of subjects such as test preparation for the civil service exams, how to submit an amendment or proposal to the statewide constitution, and educational assistance. Materials about each of the five regions are included as well as materials pertaining to the internal departments at headquarters. In addition, there are a number of pamphlets aimed at members along with flyers about the benefits of being a member in the union.

On occasion UUP has created exhibits for its Delegate Assemblies. In addition to including mounted documents and three-dimensional artifacts, the displays have relied heavily on photographs. The mounted documents and photographs used in these exhibits make up this "Exhibits and Displays" series. The artifacts are included with the memorabilia in Series 9 of this Subgroup.

This series contains correspondence and court documents related to environmental legal action cases pursued by Atlantic States Legal Foundation affiliates and like-minded organizations.

Paper records including programs from Delegate Assemblies, contract booklets, pocket calendars, universitas [scholarly journal type of publication], and various brochures, advertisements, bumper stickers, and publications. Non-paper records include lapel pins, delegate name badges, legislative giveaways, buttons, t-shirts, canvas bags, and other three-dimensional artifacts. Some of the paper records in this series, such as the Delegate Assembly programs and contract booklets, duplicate the materials found in the respective series within Subgroup IV, Office of the Secretary, and Subgroup VI, Labor Relations--Negotiations. There is also some overlap between the materials in this series and those in Series 3 of this Subgroup, "Publications". This series also includes oversized versions of some of the legislative ad campaigns in Subseries 3.1.
