| Union Mortgage Loan Company | Title: Union Mortgage Loan Company Records,1898-1942
, 1949
Quantity: 45.0 c.f. (90 archives boxes and 16 flat boxes) Call Number: Eau Claire Mss AR Abstract: Records of the Union Mortgage Loan Company, a financial institution located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, that did nearly all of its business in northern Wisconsin, North Dakota, and eastern Montana. The company made loans to farmers in return for first mortgages on the farm property and subsequently sold these mortgages to individual investors. It also bought and sold farm lands, acted as trustee for bond issues of local government units and private companies, and occasionally made loans on city property in Eau Claire. Hence the records document agricultural credit, farming conditions, and capital formation in the regions where the company did business. The collection also includes substantial personal data on the individuals to whom it lent money and on the physical characteristics of the property it accepted as security. The records as a whole provide a detailed picture of the affairs of a financial institution of moderate size. They trace the company from its formation in 1905 through a period of expansion in the properous 1910's and 1920's, and are particularly strong in documenting the business's failure in the Depression, its reorganization, and the first years of the tedious liquidation process. |

The collection documents collective bargaining and labor relations with Local 19 of the United Rubber Workers of America, tire production, reconversion of the plant from ordnance to synthetic rubber production, and modernization after World War II.

There are production files and scripts for only a few UA releases and no UA films in the collection, as these records belonged to their producers.

The contracts generally are recorded by exchange and thus enable easy comparison of films in different sections of the country.

| United Artists Corporation | Title: Confidential Reports Checking Cost Ledger: United Artists Corporation Records, Series 1K, 1948-1951
Quantity: 1 reel of microfilm (35 mm) Call Number: Micro 1047; U.S. Mss 99AN/1K Abstract: Confidential Reports was a price and attendance checking firm employed by United Artists to keep theater managers honest. Theater attendance and income figures that managers sent to United Artists were checked against the reports that Confidential Reports compiled based on visits to theaters. The Checking Cost Ledger, 1948-1951, is arranged alphabetically by film title. On each page is a list of theaters investigated, locations, dates, film rental costs, and the fee charged by Confidential Reports. The ledger also indicates what portion of the fee was paid by United Artists or by the producers, who appeared to pay a substantial share. |
| United Artists Corporation | Title: Contract Control Cut-Off Ledgers and Registers: United Artists Corporation Records, Series 7C, 1933-1951
Quantity: 43 reels of microfilm (35 mm) Call Number: Micro 1046; Micro 2030; U.S. Mss 99AN/7C Abstract: Film showings detailed by exchange and by circuit. Summarized are film titles, date played, guaranteed percentage or flat rate, number of days played, gross income, and earnings after expenses. Contract entries were made before a film was shown, while playing dates were added after the showing to indicate that films were “cut off.” In 1948 the ledger form of record keeping was apparently replaced by control cut-off forms. Holdings for this later period appear complete, while the earlier ledgers are somewhat miscellaneous in coverage, including data from theaters in Kentucky, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and West Virginia only. At the end of the registers are three separate files of cut-offs for Guilty of Treason, Red Shoes, and Sundowners. For the early ledgers the information also includes town populations, the exhibitor's name, production contract date, contract prices, production name, and other information for both feature films and short subjects. |
| United Artists Corporation | Title: Played and Earned Figures: United Artists Corporation Records, Series 6C, 1919-1950
Quantity: 15 reels of microfilm (35 mm) Call Number: Micro 1030; U.S. Mss 99AN/6C Abstract: These volumes list a weekly summary of the earnings, by picture, of all United Artists releases. This weekly summary was taken directly or indirectly from the daily contract registers. It appears that over the years different methods of transferring the total figures were used. The weekly summaries of each picture were totaled at the end of each month. These totals were then divided according to producer/corporation share, and the cumulative totals were transferred to the General Ledgers (Series 3C). Volumes for 1934, 1937, 1940, and 1947 were not received by the Historical Society with the rest of the series. |
| United Artists Corporation | Title: Foreign General Ledgers: United Artists Corporation Records, Series 5C, 1929-1950

These offices, modeled on the corporation's system of domestic exchanges, did business within a designated geographical area. Thus, the Argentina office conducted business in Uruguay and Paraguay as well as in Argentina. The individual accounts encompass the entire range of activities of UA's foreign business, from capital stock to petty cash and from profit on currency exchange to producers' shares of played-and-earned income. |

In many of the cases, the plaintiffs charged a conspiracy in restraint of trade to deny them first-run films. In others, price-fixing or other unlawful practices figured in the litigation.

A few interspersed memoranda suggest that the majority of these files were originally in the custody of Robert Hilton of the United Artists Print Department, but they were not interfiled with that series as only a few titles overlapped with the coverage of the Hilton files. Although most of the continuities relate to United Artists releases there are a few files for Hopalong Cassidy films and other Paramount releases. |

| United Artists Corporation | Title: Foreign Correspondence and Legal Files: United Artists Corporation Records, Series 2F, 1930-1953
Quantity: 18.0 cubic feet (47 archives boxes) Call Number: U.S. Mss 99AN/2F Abstract: Correspondence, contracts, and other records (primarily 1940-1952) on the sale of film distribution rights to foreign clients, documenting distribution contracts from initial contact through subsequent contract enforcement. Foreign distribution was done in two basic ways: by United Artists (UA) or a subsidiary selling rights directly to exhibitors on an individual basis, or by the sale of licenses to other distribution organizations at a flat rate, with subsequent distribution performed by the licensee. Because UA's independent producers had input into the sale price and terms of the distribution agreements, full information on the foreign distribution negotiations were referred either to the home office in New York or to the major UA subsidiary in London for final approval; thus, the series contains extensive details on individual foreign distribution transactions. Also included are some non-distribution materials relating to foreign countries, such as Bulgaria, French North Africa, and Italy. |

Some records pertain to local camps within the Department of Wisconsin; the records for the Herman J. Bartels Camp No. 39 (Marshfield) are particularly complete. The patriotic concerns of the United Spanish War Veterans are reflected by constant references to “Americanism” in their records and several flyers. |

Title: Badger Yearbook publications Quantity: 39 Linear Feet 39 record storage cartons published volumes; microfilm Call Number: uac81 Abstract: First published by the junior class of 1884 under the title Trochos, but known for most of it history as The Badger, the University of Wisconsin-Madison yearbook documented the social and athletic events on campus along with student organizations and often portraits students in attendance. Publication of the yearbook became annual in 1887 and was published annually from that year until 2014. At the outset each year book was published by the junior class, meaning that the yearbook produced in 1887 represented the graduating (senior) class of 1888. In 1932 this practice shifted and the senior class began to publish the yearbook, therefore there are two volumes titled 1932, with the first having been actually published in 1931. An interruption in editorial staff caused the yearbook to cease publication in 2014 and as of 2022 it has not resumed. |
