Publications, 1942-2006, Undated

Extent:: 1.20 cubic ft.
Scope and content:: Series 2 includes League publications, both local and national. Like all of the projects described in the administrative history, the League sought to educate and inform the voting public about government and policy in Rensselaer County, New York State, and to a smaller extent, the United States. Publications include a series of pamphlets about specific elections, voting in general, registration facts and candidates. In addition, the collection includes histories about the League and Carrie Chapman Catt, the League's founder. Bulletins from 1942-1990 are also included. The Bulletins were usually monthly and included up-to-date information about League activities. Letters from the Presidents, calendars of events, future and current goals, and projects and legislation of interest were often part of the information included in the Bulletin. Ten years worth of the League's newsletter, The Voter are also part of the series, along with Election Bulletins of the 1940s, and Voter's Bulletins of the 1950s and 1960s. The LWVRC also put out their own publications about local issues including "Troy - Your City," Trojans, Know Your School, Up the Ladder: A Study of Anti-Poverty in Rensselaer County in 1952, 1955 and 1968 respectively.
