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.

Some of the subject areas include apportionment, the charter, economic development, fair campaign practices and lobbying. The series contains materials on Know Your Rensselaer County, an effort by the LWVRC to bring awareness to Rensselaer County residents about the county government and electoral process within the county. The LWVRC has been involved in this effort since the 1940s, surveying and evaluating the status of the county government and its projects at any given time. The League was especially interested in public health (tuberculosis in particular), children's services, and the county's welfare administration in the 1940s. However, its interests also included jury selection, election participation, population, economy and local history. In the 1960s, the LWVRC began drafting Know Your Rensselaer County, which provided a portrait of the county's various departments, elected offices, and public projects. In 1972, county voters passed a charter-form of government. As a result, the League would become a sort of "watchdog" group for the implementation and execution of the goals of the charter, as will be seen in Series 6. By 1992, the LWVRC published the Rensselaer County Government Workbook as part of its review of the charter. It also expressed the League's position, supporting the County Charter.
