There is also some commentary from various panel discussions, roundtables, seminars, and workshops organized or chaired by Baxandall. Early membership files, which include the National Association of Social Workers and the National Organization for Women, emphasize her professional ties to social work and feminist organizations. Papers associated with her membership in the Coalition of Labor Union Women, which include flyers, clippings, and Baxandall's notes of the founding conference, highlight her role as steward for the New York State University Teachers Union. Also included are transcripts and related material representing various oral history projects conducted by Baxandall, including the Feminist History Research Project. For a recorded 2004 interview of Robert Gangi, Executive Director of the Correctional Association of New York see Series VI (See Series I and II for interviews of Baxandall).
