This series contains founding materials, research statistics, meeting notes and event reports, legislative proposals and financial and budgeting materials.

Series 1, Administrative Files, includes official documentation of the boards including meeting minutes, agendas, treasurer reports, and correspondence. It contains the board meeting minutes and agendas from 1961 to 2000, but with several gaps in time. The series also contains information about the LWVRC's annual meetings (1966-1999), membership (1942-1998), by-laws and policy, and tax returns (1967-1985), again with several gaps in time.

The administrative files contain executive meeting minutes from the Conference's earliest days through the late 1980s. During those years, members kept the minutes in large, hardcover binders; the archivist removed the papers from those binders for preservation purposes and placed them in acid-free folders in the order in which they appeared in the original binders. In the 1990s, Conference members began filing their meeting minutes under the heading of "chronological files" along with meeting announcements and correspondence. The chronological files became series two of this collection and researchers will find more meeting minutes there. However, there is a gap in the Conference's meeting minutes from 1989-1994.

The Administrative Files series consists of organizational records which document the activities of the Board of Directors. These include founding documents, by-laws and changes, annual reports to the national organization, monthly meeting minutes, and event programs from annual chapter meetings. Budgets, treasurer reports and event calendars are mainly interfiled with meeting minutes, as is some correspondence. There are gaps in some months and years. Files labeled "Other" contain a mixture of items, including correspondence, budgets, pamphlets, Voters Guides, annual program calendar flyers and study reports.

Though this series has meeting minutes from the main executive committee of the CWA, they are very sporadic; only one or two sets of minutes exist for some years. There is a much stronger selection of meeting minutes from the local's own executive committee. There are also financial papers featuring a long run of reports and statements from the local's certified accountants. Constitutions in this series contain information on the process of the union's affiliation with CWA beginning in the mid-1980s.
