Tyler, Louis Wayne	Title: Louis Wayne Tyler Papers and Photographs, Quantity: 1.0 linear ft. (2 archives boxes, 1 flat box, and 4 oversized folders) of papers and 1 folder of photographs. Call Number: WVM Mss 934 Abstract: The papers and photograph of Louis Wayne Tyler, a warrant officer (junior grade) with the U. S. Army who served in Panama and Brazil during World War II. A majority of the collection consists of the letters Tyler wrote to his mother during his military service, from basic training, to Panama and Brazil, through the end of the war. These letters, written by a highly educated and intelligent man, reflect his feelings about serving in the Army, particularly in Panama, and contain descriptions of lodgings, food, and local attractions. Tyler was not pleased to be drafted into the Army in 1941, but he grew more satisfied with the Army as he served. He wrote about his confusion upon the attack on Pearl Harbor and the sensitivity of soldiers in Panama about their service and the fact that they were not actively fighting enemy soldiers. Other papers in the collection include newspaper clippings, cut out by Tyler's mother, relating to Panama, Brazil, Janesville men and women in the service, and Tyler himself. Also included are some articles and a dedication program (1943) for the Janesville Shrine of Honor monument. Personal military papers, such as certificates and a separation record, provide details about his service. Ephemeral items include menus from holiday meals in the Army, a silver star service flag card that his mother could display, a “win the war” postage stamp, and a unique recruitment flyer for the Women's Army Corps. Pre-war letters from Tyler's father, Louis J., to his mother describe the medical treatment he sought at the hot springs in Excelsior Springs, Missouri for an illness. The one photograph, taken from an elevated position, shows an unidentified World War II-era target range, as well as buildings and fields along the horizon.
Tyra, Dorothy, 1926-	Title: Dorothy Tyra Compiled Files on the Crandon Mine Controversy, 1976-2001 Quantity: 2.8 c.f. (7 archives boxes) Call Number: Stevens Point Mss BV Abstract: Papers compiled by environmentalist Dorothy Tyra documenting the Crandon, Wisconsin mine controversy through her involvement with the Pickerel/Crane Lake Protection and Rehabilitation District, Wolf River Watershed Alliance, Wisconsin Resources Protection Council, and Wolf Watershed Educational Project. The bulk of the collection consists of subject files and newsletters documenting the anti-mining publicity campaign and grassroots political organization of environmentalists, Native Americans, and sportsmen in opposition to the proposed mine at Crandon. Native American rights and issues are a key aspect of this collection, including material related to the Midwest Treaty Network and the Mole Lake Sokaogon Chippewa.
