The collection consists of constitutions and by-laws, correspondence, minutes, programs, memoranda, brochures, photographs, budgets, albums, reports, petitions, press releases, flyers, banners, scrapbooks, and publications. The bulk of this collection constitutes the records of the Hunter College Student Self Government Association from 1928 to 1962, and the Hunter College Day Session Student Government from 1971 to 1993.
