Abstract:

Records of the League of Women Voters of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, an Oshkosh area civic group involved in studying local community and political issues, influencing political decisionmaking, and encouraging voter participation. Included are general records such as minutes, bulletins, by-laws, correspondence, a history, membership lists, a few financial records, reports to the national league, scrapbooks of newsclippings, files on local study issues, and a manuscript and reference materials for Know Your Community, Oshkosh, Wisconsin: A Guide to Local Government and Services, published by the Oshkosh League in 1976. Local study issues illustrate societal and political concerns of the Oshkosh League, and include fragmentary correspondence, notes, near-print materials, clippings, and other papers on a few topics. Of greatest importance are the files from the League's study of the City Council-City Manager form of government under consideration by the City of Oshkosh during the 1960s.
