This collection consists of materials donated by Kenneth Donovan, founder and editor-in-chief for The Bay Area Crusader, a Tampa tabloid newspaper. Billed as "America's first anti-crime newspaper," the Crusader includes mugshots, reports of crimes, information on missing children, and editorial articles related to activities in Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. The newspaper ran from 1992 to 1997 locally and had additional regional versions across the United States.

The Beatrice B. Ettinger papers contain correspondence, leaflets, posters, minutes and reports that show women's position in society in the 1970s and 1980s. Continuing Education is the focus of these papers since Ettinger accumulated many of the materials between 1970 and 1992 when she was President of the Council for Continuing Education for Women. This organization established a Center that was based first at Valencia Community College and later at the University of Central Florida. Ettinger also collected documents concerning other organizations in which she was interested that fostered women's intellectual and political growth, such as, the Central Florida Women's Resource Center Inc. and the League of Women Voters. Additional materials provide some personal information about Mrs. Ettinger.
