Arrangement

Arranged hierarchically by LWVBAE support positions, then alphabetically by the name of the study, position, or action.

Scope and Content Note

This subseries contains material relating to local studies, support positions, and action. Records in this subseries include correspondence, position statements, reports, meeting records, clippings, and notes. Records were largely filed by topic under the support position in which they pertain. LWVBAE support positions listed in this subseries include government structure, city finances, planning, government services, education, and social policy. Each of these support positions has one or more general action and position files associated with it, as well as several files on specific studies, positions, or action. Around 1980, the league began interfiling the general action and position records in chronological order rather than organizing them by support position. As a result, the General Action and Positions files dating from 1980 to 1993 are located at the end of this subseries and are not organized under any particular support position.
