Title: William Proxmire papers, 1938-2004 (bulk 1957-1980)

Papers, mainly 1957-1980, of William Proxmire, Democratic Senator from Wisconsin (1957-1989), known for his liberal views on social issues, his fiscal conservatism, and the Golden Fleece awards with which he drew attention to wasteful government spending. Included are biographical materials and clippings, constituent correspondence, speeches, books and articles, sound and video recordings, newsletters and press releases, and federal agency case files. Files of staff members, the heart of the collection, document numerous issues of special concern to the Senator: the fairness doctrine; ratification of the international Genocide Treaty; Great Lakes harbors and shipping; and the SST, the B-1 bomber, and other military spending. General subject files concern numerous topics such as abortion, economic development in Wisconsin, opposition to the Senate leadership of Lyndon Baines Johnson, taxes, and energy. Also present are campaign files, schedules, voting records, and filmed campaign ads, televised "reports from Washington," and other films. Pre-Senatorial files include papers from Proxmire's three unsuccessful gubernatorial campaigns, his tenure as a one-term Wisconsin assemblyman, and recordings from his "Union Labor News" radio program. Photographs in the collection consist of portraits, publicity shots of the Senator posed with constituents, prominent political leaders, and at photo opportunities such as parades, work days, and the Wisconsin State Fair.

Wisconsin Democratic Party Oral History Project. Wisconsin Democratic Party Oral History Project interviews, 1982-1986.

Title: Wisconsin Democratic Party Oral History Project interviews, 1982-1986.

Interviews with 37 former and current activists in the Democratic Party of Wisconsin concentrating particularly on the Party's building period between the end of World War II and the electoral successes in the late 1950s. Interviewees include former Progressives, former Socialists, pre-1945 Democrats, activists in farm and labor organizations, successful and unsuccessful candidates for office, local party workers, and party chairmen. Because so much of the party's leadership came from Dane and Milwaukee counties, interviewees come disproportionately from these areas. Each interview is accompanied by an abstract providing information on the contents and the tape location where topics are covered. Also present is one box of research materials. The interviews were conducted by Catherine Coberly and Jim Cavanaugh for the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. Interviewees are Gehrta Amlie, Bruno Bitker, Julia Bogholt, Laurie Carlson, James and Ruth Doyle, John and William Duffy, Thomas Fairchild, Gerald Flynn, Virginia and Henry Hart, Esther Kaplan, Esther and John Lawton, Virginia Lehman, Erich Lenz, Robert Lewis, Patrick J. Lucey, Henry Maier, Lucile Miller, John Moses, Philleo Nash, Gaylord Nelson, Frank Nikolay, Gretchen Pfankuchen, William Proxmire, David Rabinovitz, Henry Reuss, John Reynolds, Warren Sawall, Gloria and Milton Schneider, Carl Thompson, Mari Jo and Walter Henry Uphoff, and Floyd Wheeler.
