Historical Note

The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan organization whose purpose is to encourage informed and active participation of all citizens in government and politics. Membership is open to men and women 18 years of age and older. The League actively functions at the local, state and national levels.

The collection consists of the records of the Spokane Chapter from 1953-2007, in addition to materials produced by the Washington State league and the national league. The original accession (boxes 1-14) appears to have been compiled and stored by two individuals, Julia Fields and Margaret Portman. The original provenance of this part of the collection has been lost.

The collection is arranged into five series: two on the Spokane Chapter, one on the Washington State League of Women Voters, one on the National League of Women Voters, and one of accruals recieved after 1995. The accruals series uses its own box and folder numbering which is not tied to the 1995 accession.

Collection is not restricted.
