League of Women Voters of Pullman, in Washington State, was organized in February 1950. In 1952 it became a chartered local league. Each year the League studies and acts on local, state and national governmental issues. The League may take a stand on an issue after careful study, but it never supports or opposes either political party or any candidates. Financial support comes from League programs, membership dues and contributions. In its first two years the League started a survey that focused on local issues. This study resulted in a pamphlet entitled "Know Your Town". In this pamphlet the League promoted greater community action. The goals have remained consistent with those ideas in subsequent years of activity.

Records of the Pullman Chapter of League of Women Voters consist primarily of subject files concerning various public issues. These files are made up of variety of memoranda, reports, and miscellaneous publications. One particularly rich sequence of papers is focused on the chapter's involvement in water quality issues related to dryland agriculture in eastern Washington in the late 1970s, when new state regulations on soil erosion were formulated. Five audio tapes on similar subjects are also included.

The records, which were largely unarranged upon receipt, have been arranged alphabetically by subject. The audio tapes follow the subject file sequence.

This collection is open and available for research use.
