Part 1 (Milwaukee Mss 199, Micro 1176, Milwaukee Micro 63): Original
Collection, 1976-19891.6 cubic feet (4 archives boxes) and 5 reels of microfilm (35 mm) The Mordecai Lee Papers document his thirteen year tenure in the Wisconsin
Legislature (1976-89), his seven year tenure as the Executive Director of the
Milwaukee Jewish Council for Community Relations (1990-97), and his current tenure
track position as Assistant Professor of Government Affairs at UW-Milwaukee
(1997-2001). The papers are arranged in broad chronological periods reflecting the
evolution of Lee's career. Within each career stage, the papers are arranged by type
of record and chronologically thereunder. A small quantity of personal papers consists
of a biographical sketch written by Lee in 2001 and material on a Jewish camp. The vast majority of these papers consist of newsletters and campaign literature
drafted for the following assembly and state races: 1978, 1980, 1982, and 1986. Press
releases and other speaking engagements covering the period 1976-1989 are also
available through 1976-89 on microfilm. In addition, a significant portion of this collection is devoted to Lee's tenure as
Executive Director of the Milwaukee Jewish Council for Community Relations
(1990-1997). This section includes annual reports, newspaper clippings, and speeches
on anti-Semitism in Milwaukee, solidifying lasting peace in the Middle East, and
preserving the existence of Israel. A final portion of this collection contains newspaper and journal articles Lee wrote
as an UW-Milwaukee faculty member concerning the topics of public administration
policy, government affairs, and other Middle Eastern issues.
