http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/232006861

The bulk of the collection pertains to ARAL's activities and includes correspondence with other referral agencies and abortion specialists; requests for information from or for pregnant women, and their evaluations of the abortion experience; material on Maginnis's abortion classes; and several versions of ARAL's "specialist kit", which contained annotated lists of abortion specialists in different countries, instructions for going through customs, an evaluation form, summaries of laws, and directions for self-induced abortions. Collection also contains SHA's organizational records, including articles of incorporation, bylaws, publications, a small amount of financial material, clippings, and 6 audiotapes of abortion speeches and discussions at conferences, 1964-1966. While not complete, these are the existing records for SHA/ARAL. Few office files have survived and only a selection of requests and evaluations was kept.
