AFFILIA: Journal of Women and Social Work is a feminist publication that was formed by a group of social workers in 1986 by a collective voluntary effort. AFFILIA was originally published by The Feminist Press at The City University of New York, but has been published by Sage Publications in Newbury Park since Spring (Volume 3, number 1) of 1988. Beatrice Saunders was the journal’s Founding Editor. The records also include files from subsequent Editors-in-Chief: Betty Sancier, Carol Meyer, Emma Gross, and Miriam Dinerman.

Included in the collection are administrative records, such as board meeting minutes, policy statements, financial, production, and subscription materials, and general correspondence. Also included in the collection are editorial files, which contain submitted drafts of articles, reviewers' evaluations (ratings sheets), the final edited versions, and related correspondence. Rejected manuscripts were not transferred to the Archives, but ratings sheets for these are included in the collection. The Archives also maintain a full set of the journal published to date, which is located in the periodicals collection.
