Series II: Africa contains pamphlets primarily relating to issues in different countries and regions. Other publications are about European colonialism in Africa and individual people. This series is arranged alphabetically by country/topic.

Series III: West Indies includes pamphlets about islands and countries. Other pamphlets relate to culture, education, and political issues. This series is arranged into two subseries: Countries/Islands and Social and Political Topics. Each subseries is arranged alphabetically by place/topic.

Series IV: Communism contains publications primarily about communism in the United States, with some pamphlets on communism in South America, Africa, and Russia, as well. This series is in its original order, by the numbers assigned to publications.

Series V: Asia includes a small number of publications divided into two subseries. One subseries contains publications about China; the second contains publications about Vietnam.

Series VI: Other Topics includes materials about dating and marriage, financial issues, and the loss of rights of indigenous groups.
