Abstract:
The Lands We Share initiative, part of the Wisconsin Farms Oral History Project, was a grant-funded oral history collaboration between faculty and students from five University of Wisconsin campuses (UW-Whitewater, UW-Oshkosh, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Eau Claire, and UW-Madison) that ran from August 2017 to March 2019. The iniative collected and exhibited stories, histories, artifacts, images and sounds from five culturally and regionally distinct farm sites in Wisconsin. The project, led by Troy Reeves (Head, Oral History Program, UW-Madison Archives) and James Levy (Associate Professor and Director of Public History Program, UW-Whitewater History Department), ran a public dialogue tour that focused on the intersection of farming, land, ethnic culture, and history in Wisconsin, and resulted in a traveling exhibition.
