Records of a federally funded project conducted by the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) to promote the humanities to the general public,
largely compiled or created by Frederick I. Olson, last executive director of the program.
The collection contains accounting, budget, and other financial records; correspondence
files; and grant files concerning the National Endowments for the Humanities (NEH). The
correspondence files contain letters to and from the executive director with NEH and UWM
officials, and Milwaukee's historical community documenting program funding and activities.
The community board's meeting files contain minutes documenting its focus on NEH funding,
project development, bylaws, and budget reports. The minutes provide insight into the
objectives of the program and the role of board members. The program's oral history and film
projects, which focused on the history of Milwaukee's people, products, and geographic areas
are well documented in the collection.
