CONSUMER FEDERATION OF AMERICA FILES, 1966-1977

Summary: Copies of administrative documents generated by the Consumer Federation of America, of which the Consumers League of New Jersey was a part. The Federation was formed in the 1960s by city, county, regional, and state consumer organizations to serve as a clearinghouse for information, promote consumers' rights, create programs, and to analyze and take action on consumer issues.

Document types include board minutes, correspondence, statements, newsletters, news clippings, pamphlets, conference materials, and notes.

Predominantly records of the Annual Meeting, Board meeting minutes, reports, and mailings. Consumer Assembly (1968-1977) refers to a consumer conference held yearly by the Federation covering a variety of consumer issues. The Annual Meeting (1968-1977) was similar to a conference, but dealt with Federation business and elections to the Board.
