The Administrative series is arranged chronologically.

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

This series contains records relating to the administration and activities of the Kappa Delta Sorority. Meeting minutes, membership and initiation lists, constitutions and by-laws, and other materials document the sorority's functioning from shortly after its founding, in 1899, to 1978. There are no minutes for 1903-1923, 1933-1934, 1941-1950, or 1975-1980. This series also includes sorority traditions, publicity materials, and some materials relating to alumnae.

This series contains administrative and subject files for the Phi Delta Sorority. It includes such materials as constitutions, initiation ceremonies and traditions, membership lists, newsletters, financial records and more, documenting the sorority's activities throughout its history. There are also similar materials relating to Phi Delta alumnae.

This series documents the establishment, administration, and maintenance of the Women's Building. This includes meeting notes and minutes, formal reports, correspondence, accounting and financial records, documentation of programming and fundraising activities, tax records, original promotional materials and grant applications.

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 series contains annual reports and meeting minutes of the League of Women Voters of Schenectady County. The collection also contains budget, public relations, social events, and state board announcements.

The Administrative Files series consists of organizational records which document the activities of the board. These records include annual reports (1940-2001), monthly meeting minutes (1941-2001), and president's correspondence (1963-2001, not inclusive). Agendas and treasurer reports are often interfiled with the meeting minutes. This series also includes the by-laws that govern the LWVAC along with changes to those by-laws. Lists of the board of directors and the members of the organization over the years can be found in this series as well. Material regarding campaigns for membership and finance drives for various years are also included. There are also minutes from meetings of the Inter-League Organization (ILO) which consisted of the Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenactady, and Shenendahowa Leagues of New York State (1975-1986).

The Administrative Files follow standard practice using the name of report type, originating committee, special event or external entity as the subject heading. The deepest historical contents are found in folders for Annual Reports (beginning 1944), Black Book (1945-56), Budgets (1954-56), Federation Membership (1947-51), Membership Committee (1942-47), and Organization of the Federation (1941-48). It should be noted that much financial, membership and special events information not included in these Administrative Files can be found filed with the Meeting Minutes at which the topic or report was discussed or in the Annual Reports.

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.
