Files include email correspondence, memos, and published press releases related to SNAP-Menno's advocacy work. Files also contain periodic personal journal entries recording Krall's reflections on the work of SNAP-Menno and her analysis of intra-group conflicts related to diverging activism strategies.

The series contains volumes I-V of "The Elephant in God's Living Room," as well as correspondence, research materials, personal notes, and journal entries.
