The collection is arranged alphabetically, and contains correspondence, ephemera, internal documents, petitions and public statements, and newsletters of the AVP, and of other progressive organizations, including foreign veterans organizations. There are files on two annual AVP events -- an art show, and Elbe River Day, commemorating the meeting of American and Soviet troops in 1945. Other files document Desert Fox(a campaign against the 1951 movie), the suppression (by the U.S. Post Office) of Vet's Voice, an allied organization, the American Women for Peace (including copies of two issues of its monthly newsletter, The Peacemaker), and the Australian Legion of Ex-Servicemen and Women.
