The Parkside University League was a social association organized by female staff and faculty members of the University. The University League was formed at the Racine Extension by Helene May and Mildred Wedemeyer in 1947. The Racine Center became part of the University of Wisconsin Parkside in 1968 when it was transferred to the new University from the Center System.

The purpose of the Parkside University League was the promotion of social relations among its members and to cooperate with the students and staff of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in any manner deemed advisable by the membership.

This collection contains correspondence generated by the organization, publicity, drafts of the constitution, and files pertaining to various public events sponsored by the group. The collection also includes publications such as directories, newsletters, yearbooks, and scrapbooks.

The files are organized alphabetically by subject, then chronologically.
