When issues coincided with conferences, then conference schedules were published on the front page. When issues did not coincide with conferences, then the front page featured a message from the president. By the second year, the front page masthead would be changed multiple times, preceding another layout change in the near future. Also, the REFORMA voting ballots could be found on the last page of their corresponding publication issue.<\/p>\n<p>A research tip: historic newsletters are often convenient resources for identifying key organizational members and their titles.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-4299 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol1Num3_1974.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"231\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol1Num3_1974-231x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol1Num3_1974-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol1Num3_1974.jpg 616w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 231px) 100vw, 231px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5243'>\n\t\t\t\tThe front page of a REFORMA Newsletter, Volume 1, Number 2, 1974, found in Record Series 85\/4\/40.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol1Num3_1976_Ballot.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"269\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol1Num3_1976_Ballot-269x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol1Num3_1976_Ballot-269x300.jpg 269w, https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol1Num3_1976_Ballot.jpg 716w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 269px) 100vw, 269px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5244'>\n\t\t\t\tA ballot form from REFORMA Newsletter, found in Record Series 85\/4\/40.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol1Num4_1974.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol1Num4_1974-232x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol1Num4_1974-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol1Num4_1974.jpg 618w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 232px) 100vw, 232px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5245'>\n\t\t\t\tThe front page of a REFORMA Newsletter, Volume 1, Number 4, 1974, found in Record Series 85\/4\/40.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box_Vol2Num1_1976.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"265\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box_Vol2Num1_1976-265x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-5242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box_Vol2Num1_1976-265x300.jpg 265w, https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box_Vol2Num1_1976.jpg 706w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 265px) 100vw, 265px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-5242'>\n\t\t\t\tThe front page of a REFORMA Newsletter, Volume 12 Number 1, 1976, found in Record Series 85\/4\/40.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>In 1978,\u00a0<em>REFORMA Newsletter<\/em>\u00a0was rebooted as a quarterly publication, resulting in the January-March issue becoming Volume 1 Number 1, and with Arnulfo D.

In fact, one issue in 1984 experimented with a book layout, to keep the page count low but the information count high for members. By 1985, the masthead changed to include a new logo for the publication and for the first time advertisements first appeared. At that time, for a short time, the multi-column layouts were replaced with the earlier full-page layouts and the newsletters had returned to heavier twenty-page publications. At least as early as 1985, a separate\u00a0<em>JOBLINE<\/em> issue was produced to shared recent job listings for REFORMA members.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-4299 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol3Num2_1983_Page4.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol3Num2_1983_Page4-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-5254\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-5254'>\n\t\t\t\tThe fourth page of a REFORMA Newsletter, Volume 3, Number 2, 1983, found in Record Series 85\/4\/40.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol4Num1_1984.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol4Num1_1984-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-5255\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-5255'>\n\t\t\t\tThe front pages of a REFORMA Newsletter, Volume 4, Number 1, 1984, found in Record Series 85\/4\/40.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol5Num1_1985.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/ala\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/74\/2017\/09\/8504040a_Box1_Vol5Num1_1985-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-5256\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-5256'>\n\t\t\t\tThe front page of a REFORMA Newsletter, Volume 5, Number 1, 1985, found in Record Series 85\/4\/40.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>By 1987, Ingrid Betancourt had become editor, and the layout would change in addition to many new publication features.
