                          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.
