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. |

In May, 1988 the Board of Regents developed five additional policies to improve the integration process, which addressed issues such as the rights of UW Extension faculty and staff with joint appointments. The collection contains correspondence between the UW Extension Chancellor's office, particularly during the 1983-1993 tenure of Patrick Boyle, UW System faculty and staff, and Wisconsin and federal Government officials. The bulk of the collection consists of meeting minutes, agendas, reports, policies, and publications of UW System and collaborative institutional bodies including the Board of Regents Study Committee on the Integration of the Extension Function, the Systemwide Extension Council, the Special Regent Committee on Competition with the Private Sector, and the UW System and State Vocational, Technical and Adult Education System Joint Administrative Committee on Continuing Education.
