Administrative/Restriction Information
There are no access restrictions on the materials, and the collection is open to
all members of the public in accordance with state law.
The researcher assumes full responsibility for conforming with the laws of libel,
privacy, and copyright which may be involved in the use of this collection
(Wisconsin Statutes 19.21-19.39).
The earlier records of this collection were housed at different locations since
their creation including: the National Archives, the Smithsonian Institution,
and finally the American Philosophical Society. These records, which constitute
what was formerly known as "Part I" (boxes 1-140), were roughly organized by the
various venues which held them.
The collection was transferred and donated to the American Geographical Society
Library in 1996. The records that comprised "Part II" were also donated by the
AAG at this time.
Along with several additions of records, "Part II" was processed over the course
of several years by Norman Stewart, beginning in 2000. In the fall of 2014, Bob
Jaeger, Sarah Steinbacher, and Will Tchakirides created this finding aid,
combined both parts, and renumbered the boxes accordingly.
