PUBLICATIONS,, 1929-1990.

Summary:Publications produced by the League of Women Voters of New Jersey. The series consists of newsletters, manuals and workbooks, kits, legislative information, broadsides, leaflets, flyers, and subject-oriented publications which provide information on League activities and objectives. Of particular interest are the handbooks, kits, and manuals which specified procedural guidelines in various areas for the local leagues, such as Inter-League Organizations, Finance, Voters Service, Public Relations, and Legislation. Other handbooks were geared to women in leadership positions, such as committee heads and local league officers. Included are a Treasurer's Handbook, a manual for the Membership Chairman, and a President's Handbook.

Also of interest are the publications that focused on the State Legislature. The Legislative Roundup (1968-1975) was a monthly newsletter that discussed legislative issues and their implications, highlighted state bills on which the League had a position, and reported on bills, motions, and amendments that had been passed or rejected in the Legislature. In two special issues, August 1973 and September 1975, the League compiled records of New Jersey legislators and the way they voted on 99 different bills, motions, and amendments. Other legislative publications include the Legislative Newsletter, which provided a brief summary of legislative outcomes on major bills and issues, and the State Legislative Program (1947-1954), renamed the Green Light in 1955, which described the bills that the League endorsed. The State Legislative Program was generally only published when the legislature was in session.

The Civic Pilot (1929-1930), the general League newsletter later known as the Bulletin and then as the New Jersey Voter, consisted of articles and editorials by League members and provides a list of upcoming League events. Another newsletter was The Cloverleaf (of which only a few issues are extant), which served as a means for local leagues to exchange ideas and inform one another about their activities. Facts and Issues (1978-1990), presently called Voter's Guide, provides non-partisan information about election issues and candidates. Also included in this series are flyers, broadsides, and leaflets. Many of the leaflets educated women on the benefits of joining the League and informed them of electoral issues and upcoming elections. The subject-oriented publications include broadsides on issues such as education, water, energy, taxes, hazardous waste, and public health standards.

In addition the series contains the League Datebooks (1933-1962), pocket calendars that include important dates and political facts. An additional calendar (1929) is oversize. The League also distributes a Publications Catalog, a list of state league publications which are available for sale.
