content: This series consists of correspondence, printed materials, letterhead, photographs, promotional materials, and newspaper clippings and articles about the founding and operation of the Museum of Menstruation by Harry Finley. The museum opened on July 31, 1994 in the basement of Finley's home and closed in 1998.  

The correspondence contains both handwritten and typescript--incoming and outgoing--faxes, postcards, and invoices for products Finley purchased for the museum collection. The bulk of the correspondence is arranged chronologically and is between Harry Finley and individuals, organizations, and companies interested in the topic of menstruation, and accessing his collection for research.
