Records of a Milwaukee area civic group primarily for women, involved in studying local community and political issues, influencing political decision making, and encouraging voter participation. Included are general records such as minutes and reports of annual, executive board, and board of directors meetings, bulletins, by-laws, scattered committee records, some general correspondence, fiftieth anniversary records, a few financial records, membership records, some national and state LWV records, and scrapbooks. Local study issues illustrate societal and political concerns of the Milwaukee League, but files are incomplete. With the exception of a file on open housing dating from 1933, most local study materials date from the 1960s and 1970s, and cover such topics as the administration of justice, air pollution, city government, education, energy, environment, Equal Rights Amendment, foreign trade, housing, human rights, Lake Michigan water quality, land use, reapportionment, sewerage, solid waste, transportation, voter registration and rights, and water resources. The collection includes partial records of the Inter-League Council, formed in 1959 to coordinate local League activities, consisting of agreements and amendments, minutes and reports of annual meetings, bulletins, by-laws, convention reports, financial records, and minutes of meetings. There are also small files of annual reports, bulletins, minutes, correspondence, financial records, membership records, scrapbooks, and a few local study files from the League of Women Voters of Greendale and the League of Women Voters of West Allis.
