This collection is largely made up of administrative documents and press coverage of
the Wisconsin Hobby Exposition shows held in 1948, 1949, and 1951 and the majority
of the materials are dated from this time. Documents include exhibitor contracts and
invitations, memos, newspaper clippings, press releases, financial documents,
correspondence, and flyers advertising potential entertainers for the shows. There
are also materials from Milwaukee Public Library and their programs and displays
that promoted hobbies.
