In addition to programmatic activities, ALFA published a monthly newsletter (Atalanta) and set out to archive lesbian herstory by establishing the Southern Feminist Library and Archives (SFLA). When the organization disbanded in 1994 Duke University acquired the SFLA's archival material and most of its extensive periodical collection, which can be found here. Subject files include personal papers, correspondence, news clippings, photographs, and other media. Festivals, gay pride marches, conferences, music and comedy shows, theater, and other events were documented by ALFA. Records also trace ALFA's sponsorship of out lesbian softball teams in the local Atlanta leagues. Advertisements and listings of women-only and gay and lesbian resorts, bookstores, and other destinations can be found here as well.}, recid = {885740}, pages = {1 online resource (559 manuscripts, 67,913 periodicals) :}, }
