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 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.
The series contains administrative materials created at the chapter, regional, state and national levels of the National Organization for Women. This includes meeting minutes, by-laws, financial reports, conference materials, legislative and lobbying files, task force materials and correspondence. The national, regional and statewide materials were acquired and retained at the local level, many by Sue Stevens Larsen, an Albany Area Chapter president in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The Albany Area NOW Chapter files consist of event flyers, press releases, correspondence, meeting minutes and newspaper clippings which document day-to-day activities. Please note that the New York State Council Meeting files may include just meeting materials for some years, while folders for other years contain plans, possibly discussed at meetings, event materials, and correspondence. At this is how the organization arranged the files, archivists retained this original order.
Series 1 contains documents relating to the internal procedures and finances of Murder Victims' Families for reconciliation. While there are a few documents that provide evidence of how the organization was set up, the majority of documents focus on hiring, day to day finances, and committee meetings. There are also materials related to strategic planning and the creation of by-laws and organizational procedure. Although the series contains materials from 1977 to 2005, the bulk of the material is from 1996 to 2004. Contained in this series are meeting agendas, meeting minutes, meeting summaries, correspondence, annual reports, ballots, evaluation forms, applications, newsletters, fliers, budgets, financial reports, manuals, by-laws, pamphlets, drafts, notes, reports, contracts, forms, resumes, proofs, floppy disks, and cassettes.
