This was an era of publishing achievement as well as landmark social and legal decisions. There are relatively few books on nudism but the library has obtained many of them. The ANRL maintains vertical files on each nudist club, association, and movement. Brochures, printed programs of special events, club histories, newsletters, and media releases are all stored here as well as in binders on the library shelves. All clubs are encouraged to send their newsletters and any relevant clippings from their local newspapers for preservation.
Special effort is made to get legal briefs of court decisions affecting nudism.
The files also include Who's Who in Nudism . Photographs are sorted and kept in the vertical files according to subject and related events. The library displays a photo history of the nudist movement in America from its early beginnings to the present. Memorabilia - The library displays a wide variety of products that reflect either individual nudist enterprise or creative efforts by clubs. Included are a number of club patches, medallions, and name tags.
