Title: Republican Party of Wisconsin records, 1900-1988.

Printed constitutions, minutes of executive committee meetings, records of annual conventions, and executive directors' correspondence, mainly documenting the period 1946-1970. In addition to correspondence, lists, platforms, and resolutions, the convention records include full secretarial transcriptions of proceedings.

Fish is extensively represented, although there are small files for the majority of the leading Republican office holders of the era. The national convention files include recollections of delegates to the 1960 and 1964 national conventions.
