The Migrant Farmworker interview project was conceived in 1975 as a collaboration between Madison's "El Comite Ciudadano por la salud y el Bienestar", (City Committee for Health and Well-being) and professors Donald Johnson and Doris Slesinger at the Department of Rural Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Part of the mission of "El Comite" was to assume the role of health advocate for the Spanish speaking communities of the Madison area. A preliminary survey of healthcare needs in the spanish speaking community in Dane county, carried out in 1975, revealed the need for a more accurate understanding of healthcare needs in Spanish speaking communities.

The first set of interviews were completed by 1978 and the data was used to make various recommendations both for healthcare institutions, such as the extension of night and weekends hours, education and outreach activities, and for the continued gathering of data of migrant worker needs. The last of these reccomendations was met by again conducting similar surveys in 1989 and 1998 and the data collected became the basis for much of Doris P. Slesinger's published work during that period.

While this collection contains the original interview schedules from Doris Slesinger's work, her personal and professional papers can also be found in UW-Archives under Doris P. Slesinger papers 1969-2006 Accessions 2007/061 and 2009/137.

This collection contains the original interview schedules for interviews which were carried out by University of Wisconsin field-workers in 1978, 1989, and 1998. The forms contain both structured segments to collect certain numerical and demographic data as well as more open ended questions. The interviews were collected mostly in Spanish but some in English as well and while concentrated mostly in the south central agricultural corridor of Wisconsin there are interviews from all over the state. The interviews became the primary data source for a number of publications by Doris P. Slesinger and others at the Department of Rural Sociology at UW-Madison. The schedules were transferred to the UW-Archives in two batches, one in 1998 and the second in 2006.
