STATE PROGRAM FILES,, 1929-1989.

Summary: Published statement (usually three to four pages) of the League of Women Voters of New Jersey's political agenda. Other documents include drafts, proposed programs, and appendices. The State Program was originally called the Program of Work (1929-1949) and was published annually. In 1949 when the state conventions began to meet biennially, the Program of Work became the State Program and was published in convention years. The purpose of the State Program was to recommend issues for study and for legislative support at the state level. Beginning in the 1930s and 1940s, the Program of Work was incorporated into the Bulletin, a few issues of which are found in this series.

Of particular interest is a 1954 publication summarizing program activity during the years 1933 to 1953. Also of interest are issues of Study and Action, 1975-1978, 1983-1984 and 1988-1989. This explanatory booklet was published in conjunction with the State Program and sent to local leagues in order to provide detailed background information on issues that comprised the current agenda.
