Esther D. Luckhardt Papers, 1963-1984

Scope and Content Note

The papers are a small collection of legislative papers. The documentation is fragmentary and incomplete, and most of Mrs. Luckhardt's papers appear to have been discarded prior to contact by the Historical Society. Included are biographical clippings, press releases, campaign literature, newsletters, speeches, and a small group of alphabetical subject files. Although none of the files can be regarded as providing full coverage, they are best on her efforts to limit and regulate state indebtedness and her work to improve the management of the Canadian geese flock at Horicon. Several files and a number of speeches touch on her position on women's issues including abortion and extension of the ERA.
