The series documents the public affairs and education activities of GLAD, both before and after the establishment of a formal Public Affairs & Education department circa 1990. Of particular interest are GLAD's annual reports and a near-complete run of GLAD Briefs, GLAD's public outreach newsletter, which has been published continually since 1979. The series also contains records documenting strategic planning and public affairs administration; a large number of GLAD publications, used primarily for public education; news clippings primarily related to GLAD's cases and issues of interest to GLAD; materials relating to the InfoLine and Lawyer Referral Service. The series also contains a substantial number of files documenting anti-gay and lesbian voter inititatives in Maine and efforts to block them.
