Sylvia's tireless advocacy and AIDS education work is reflected in videotaped interviews and lectures; the red ribbon-studded outfit she wore on her publicity tour for the book UNCONDITIONAL LOVE: MOM! DAD! LOVE ME PLEASE!, and letters of support from people and organizations in response to her book.

In addition, there are an audiotape, the score, and program notes for "Venetian Echoes" composed by Paul Goldstaub in memory of Mark, and Paul's 1998 CD "I am Prospero" that includes "Venetian Echoes." Includes personal material of Mark Goldstaub: birth and death certificates; childhood scrapbooks and an autobiographical essay; a 1981-1983 photo album; a crew jacket for Shirley MacLaine's 1984 Broadway show, for which Mark was publicist; posters and other material relating to his work and experience with AIDS; a program for his memorial service; and correspondence of the family of Mark's partner, Edmund Wojcik.
