Series IV, which served as the subject files for WILPF's Geneva office, consists of correspondence, reports and draft revisions, meeting minutes, circular letters, newsletters, various lists, financial records, and a multiplicity of printed matter like pamphlets, leaflets, broadsides, article reprints, and newspaper clippings. The materials in these files generally date from between the two world wars, although the dates of the files often depend upon the nature of the subject.
Series IV is arranged in alphabetical order by topic. Files under each topic are roughly in chronological order but--like the first three series-items often overlap chronologically both between folders within a single file and between files. Materials in Series IV are mostly in English, French, and German, although the language of the documents varies from topic to topic.
