Correspondence includes companies based in many countries in addition to the U.S. The collection also contains the text of ordinances and resolutions from other U.S. cities (in box EL8).

The documents in the archive span the years 1975 to 1994. While the bulk of the materials are about southern Africa, there are also materials about activism concerning Chile, Burma, Haiti, Nigeria, and Eritrea.
