League of Women Voters of Albany County (Albany County, N.Y.) records, 1938-2001.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56102661

The records of the League of Women Voters of Albany County (LWVAC), include material produced by the LWVAC as well as material that was produced by the League of Women Voters of New York State and the League of Women Voters of the United States. The most comprehensive series in the collection is the Administrative Files. There are meeting minutes, annual reports, and Board of Directors lists from 1940-2001. A large portion of the LWVAC collection relates to the two main purposes of the organization: voter service and "study and action." Records relating to voter service include pamphlets with information about candidates and citizen voting rights published by the LWVAC and material used to increase voter participation. Records related to "study and action" include material used by the LWVAC to inform citizens about public policy issues locally, statewide, and nationally. A strength of the LWVAC collection is the amount of material related to various public policy issues and how they affected the local community. There is a relatively comprehensive collection of newsletters published by the LWVAC, a large number of pamphlets published by the national and state organizations, and some audio-visual material included in the LWVAC records as well.
