Records of a Green Bay area civic group primarily for women, involved in studying local community and political issues, influencing political decision-making, and encouraging voter participation. Included are general records such as minutes, monthly bulletins, by-laws, convention programs, correspondence, finance drive membership books, reports to the state and national LWV, publications, files on local study issues, and scrap books of news clippings.

Local study issues illustrate societal and political concerns of the Green Bay League, and include correspondence, notes, state and national position papers, clippings, reports, and other research material, on the following topics: air pollution, the county assessor, education, environmental quality issues, the Equal Rights Amendment, fair housing, foreign trade, hunger, I-43 and I-57 highways, juveniles, land use, local government, mass transit, public health, Brown County Sheriff's Department, reapportionment, solid waste, water quality, library services, school board issues, teen pregnancy, and welfare.

The collection's disc recordings are a 1950 radio program on the League, broadcast on WBAY, Green Bay, and a national LWV program "Congressional Strings on the Public Purse."
