The first half of this guide consists of short profiles of numerous groups, along with a subject index. These profiles average over three per page on 185 pages, and include the name of a contact person, some officers or principals, and frequently several board members. The last half of this guide has 30 pages of international organizations (name, address, and telephone only), 49 pages of "status unknown" (addresses of groups that failed to respond to their questionnaire), 12 pages of "return to sender" addresses, 25 pages of addresses of periodicals, 5 pages of campus newspaper addresses, 39 pages of "features" (further descriptions of selected groups, one per page), and 59 pages of a comprehensive key word index of all group and periodical names in the guide.

The indexing in this guide by group or periodical name was too exhaustive for our purposes, and they also chose not to index the names of any individuals. For NameBase we indexed from the profiles and features only, but we selected both individuals and groups from these two sections, for a total of 2000 names.
