Researchers must use digital access copies of digitized audio records. 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 Archives has no release forms signed by Ulbricht for her interviews, so her estate or
heirs retain copyright to the recordings.
Mary Rice, Jeune Wussow and Robert Losse (nephew of Elsa Ulbricht) donated the collection
to the Archives in 1981 (no accession number assigned). In August 2007, John Losse,
grand-nephew of Elsa Ulbricht, donated additional papers (accession 2007-019).
Angela R. Cisco processed the original donation at the Archives in September through
December 1994. Michael Doylen supervised Jody Hoks in processing the 2007-019 addition in
March 2008.
George Blood L.P digitized the audio recordings in February 2016. Audio preservation
master files were created as 96 kHz/24-bit resolution 2 channel broadcast .wav files.
Audio access copies were created as 44 kHz/192 kbps bit rate 2 channel .mp3 files.
In March 2008, Michael Doylen transferred to Special Collections the following samples of
WPA Handicraft Project materials: volume 1 and 3 of Applied Design:
Blockprinted Textiles, Ludwig Cinatl, Jr.'s Come and
Sing, Kendrick Bell's At the Zoo, and a handmade
book.
