Series houses hundreds of files related to SAF's student-oriented documentary and leadership projects including AIM Farmworker Class, Into the Fields (ITF), and Levante. Some projects were created as part of Duke University Documentary Studies classes. Individual projects typically lasted one academic semester, one summer, or several weeks, and usually were carried out by one or two students.
Materials in this series are divided into three subseries: student and intern applications, SAF project administrative files, and student documentary projects (the largest subgroup).
The student and intern project files typically include a cover sheet, proposals, interview plans, essays or other narratives, creative writing, oral interviews, transcripts of interviews, digital and analog photographs, negatives, notebooks, handmade photograph albums, short videos, release forms signed by participants (interviewees), and other project materials. the release forms and other documentation ferquently include data on the migrants: ages, origination, and local addresses.
Privacy laws govern these and other records. In addition, some projects include instructions banning the use of migrant names by request of the participants.
Audiovisual/digital media have been removed to a separate series for preservation purposes. These may contain still images, document files, sound and video recordings, and artwork. Many folders contain transcripts or excerpts of interviews and printouts of photographs.
