Voice of Concerned Citizens Records, 1969-1974

Scope and Content Note

The collection contains official reports, correspondence, a membership list, and a copy of remarks made from the Voice of Concerned Citizens. The correspondence includes politicians such as Senator Gaylord Nelson and Mayor Henry Maier. There is also a small amount of material from a related organization, Citizens Regional Environmental Coalition, such as a flier advertising a political rally.

Relocation of residents affected by the planned highway expansion and environmental issues, such as recycling, are the focus of the collection. Most of the materials are from Norman and Frances Steeger, who were members of the Voice of Concerned Citizens and this collection demonstrates their efforts to protect the local environment.
