History
The League of Women Voters of Iowa was
founded in 1920 as a state-level branch of the national League of Women
Voters. A non-partisan organization, the
League of Women Voters seeks to promote political responsibility through
educating and informing the public on selected governmental issues and
promoting action on those issues. The
local and state leagues promote the purpose of the national League and take
action on local government matters.
After researching and studying a
particular issue, League members establish a common position by voting and
reaching consensus. After reaching
consensus League members organize action in support of their position. This action includes testimony, lobbying,
contact with political groups and politicians, forming coalitions, public
speaking and writing letters.
In 1971 the Citizens' Information Service was
established to carry out the Iowa League's educational activities by building
channels for communication, interpreting public needs and holding forums for
electoral candidates and issues. This
service's educational tools include publications; radio, television, and
newspapers; conferences; workshops and public meetings. In 1984 the Citizens Information Service
sponsored an international conference called "Agriculture's Stake in World
Trade." Funding for projects comes
partially from the national League of Women Voters Education Fund, established
in 1958 to tap tax-deductible funds and obtain grants that provide research and
education for League work.
The Iowa League's study programs include national
issues such as energy, environmental quality, human resources, international
relations, representative government, and urban problems. In 1988 the League of Women Voters of Iowa
and the
Since 1955 the League has kept notebooks, conducted
workshops and published guides as part of its
Scope and Content Note
The records of the League of Women Voters
of Iowa date from 1917 to 2001 and measure 101.5 linear feet. The original accession was made in 1971, with
subsequent accessions in 1975, 1981, 1984, 1989 and each year between 1994 and
2000. The League records contain annual
reports, records of state and national conventions, correspondence,
newsletters, newspaper clippings, minutes and other records relating to the
program activities of the League.
1994
ACCESSION
The 1994 accession records date from »1946 to 1991 (bulk 1960 to 1991) and measure 23.25 linear feet. The records
are arranged in seven series: Administrative,
Citizens Information Service, Government, Human resources, Local chapters,
Voters service, and Miscellaneous programs.
This collection documents the activities of an organization that seeks
to promote a more informed and politically involved voting populace. The collection consists mostly of the study
and action programs conducted by the League of Women Voters of Iowa, as found
in the Government, Human resources, Voters service and Miscellaneous programs
series.
The Administrative series
(1946-1989) contains the records of the Development Committee and Development
Director, who are responsible for general League fundraising and helping manage
program budgets. At the annual state
conventions, members gather to discuss the progress of League study and action
on adopted issues, future plans, bylaws revisions, finances, and other relevant
administrative topics.
The programs conducted by the Citizens
Information Service (1972-1984) are most often the educational components
of larger areas of study. For example,
the "Save Our Soil" billboards, the "I-SAVE" program, and
the
The League's study of Government
(1955-1990) includes the
The Human resources series
(1966-1984) contains the records of League work relating to social issues such
as equal opportunity in education and employment, housing rights and women's
issues, among others.
The League of Women Voters of Iowa is
divided by city or county into twenty-one Local chapters (1960-1991),
which span the entire state geographically.
Each chapter published a newsletter called the Voter, as well as records of projects developed on the
local
level. Partial runs of the local
newsletters are included in this series.
With the Voters service
(1973-1985), the League seeks to educate citizens on aspects of voting via such
activities as candidates' debates, seminars and public service announcements.
The
Miscellaneous programs series (1968-1988) consists of adult corrections,
international relations, juvenile justice, and natural resources. In 1988 the League cosponsored the "U.S.
88" conference with the
1995 ACCESSION
The
1995 accession records date from 1962 to 1982 and measure 5 linear inches. The accession is arranged in two series:
Administrative and Study guides. The
Administrative series (1966-1973) documents the budgeting process of the state
board in the early 1970s. An undated
consultant manual shows how the state and local leagues complement each other's
missions. The accession also contains a Study guides series (1962-1982) of various programs
and facts provided to the local leagues about education, taxes and government
