The records of the Women's League of the University of Michigan contain the League's constitution and articles of incorporation, reports, correspondence, minutes of the League and of women students' governing bodies, scrapbooks, presidents reports, and photographs; letters from Ella Wheeler Wilcox and William Dean Howells; also papers of Edith M. Wheeler and Sarah Mills Gayley Browne.

The records of the Women's League date from 1890 to 1965 and measure 33 linear feet. The records are divided into eight series: Women's League (records of the organization), Michigan League (records of the building), Administrative, Students, Union-League Merger, Photographs, and Scrapbooks and Architectural records. The records span the life of the organization and are especially strong for the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, however many of the subseries include records for only a year or two. The bulk of the records are President's Reports, which consist of two to five large bound volumes for each academic year. The subseries in the last five series are arranged alphabetically by type of material, and many are continuations of subseries from the first two series which were from an earlier accession.

Women's League, 1890-1964

The Women's League records are arranged in alphabetical order by type of material, with the exception of Histories, which have been placed at the beginning of the first box. The largest portion of this series consists of President's Reports dating from 1918/19 to 1962/63 (bulk 1933/34-1962/63). In addition to the reports by the presidents of the Women's League, these massive volumes contain minutes, reports, and financial records of the various governing bodies such as the Women's Senate, the Judiciary Council, and Panhellenic and Assembly Associations and of such activities as Senior Night, the Junior Girls' Play, Soph Show, and Frosh Weekend. In addition, the volumes contain programs, newsletters, and other material documenting the league's activities.

Also included in the Women's League series are minutes of the league and its board of directors, legal documents, financial records documenting fundraising for the Women's Building (Barbour Gymnasium) and women's athletic fields, programs and publicity relating to the Junior Girls' Play and other social activities, scrapbooks, and a small number of photographs. The photographs consist primarily of portraits and group shots of officers and members of the Women's League and Mortarboard. Also included are photographs of Field Day, 1912; the fancy dress party in 1914; and the cast of the 1914 production of "Jeanne d'arc." Of special note is the correspondence, which dates from the earliest years of the organization's existence and includes autobiographical sketches written by alumnae in 1896 and letters by such prominent literary figures as Ella Wheeler Wilcox and W.D. Howells expressing their views on athletic education for women. (The latter were written in response to an appeal for support of the league's campaign for a women's gymnasium and were published in the April 1896 issue of The Invader.)
