Records of a non-profit corporation established for the purpose of conducting a statewide educational program on alcohol. The organization became incorporated as the Wisconsin Temperance Movement in 1948. The Wisconsin Temperance Movement, the Wisconsin Temperance Federation (previously called the Wisconsin Anti-Saloon League), and the Wisconsin Temperance Education Association merged on January 1, 1952 to create a united temperance front in Wisconsin. The new organizational name changed to United Temperance Movement of Wisconsin and changed again to the Alcohol Problems Council of Wisconsin on April 7, 1966. Office headquarters have been in Milwaukee, Whitewater, and currently in Madison. The records include minutes of the Council's Executive Committee; office correspondence; financial records; newsletters and other publications relating to temperance and alcohol problems; photographs; and assorted files which document public and outreach activities and operations of APCW throughout its history.
