As indicated by the eleven series, this collection includes information about: the founding and administration of Pride at Work, their National Executive Board (NEB), LGBTQ rights legislation, correspondence with other unions and labor rights groups, documentation of their participation in rallies and marches, training and education materials, participation in world-wide LGBTQ conferences, speeches, correspondence with local Pride at Work chapters in the United States, the Pride at Work newsletter, and news clippings on the LGBTQ movement and related topics.

This collection also contains audiovisual materials. Items that cannot be used in the Special Collections reading room or are too fragile for researchers require that a digital copy be made prior to use because the original audio tapes are not reformatted for public access.
