The Other Media series (3 linear feet) contains digital materials, twenty-six VHS videotapes, and 145 audio cassette tapes. Most of the VHS tapes contain presentations and debates that Cumbey gave and participated in at locations throughout the country during the 1980's where she discussed her books and the New Age Movement. These tapes shed light on why Constance Cumbey spent many years studying the movement and why she views it as a destructive force in Christianity and in modern American society. A number of the tapes are recordings of television programs or local news programs from the 1980's and the early 1990's that discuss New Age themes. Many of these taped television programs contain brief interviews with Cumbey. There are also a few tapes that focus on a debate between Cumbey and Christian Mystic Elizabeth MacDonald Burrows on the topic of religion and the New Age Movement. A majority of the audiocassettes are recordings of Law Talk, a call-in radio program hosted by Constance Cumbey, which contains discussion of both legal and religious topics. The Javier Solana digital materials contain a powerpoint presentation made by Cumbey that highlights the political activity of European Union Secretary-General Javier Solana. She makes clear her opinion that Solana has ties to the New World Order by discussing his Marxist past, his attacks against the religion of conviction, and his plans to achieve a stronger and dominant Europe.
