FOLDER LIST
Most materials relate to the League of Women Voters of Chapel
Hill (LWV-CH) (now League of Women Voters of Chapel Hill-
Carrboro), but there are also many items relating to the League
of Women Voters of North Carolina (LWVNC), or the League of Women
Voters of the United States (LWVUS). This is especially true of
finance drive materials, which usually include items relating to
funding on the local, state, and national levels.
Materials have been sorted and refoldered; for the most part
original folder titles have been retained.
