Papers of Democratic State Assemblywoman, State Senator, and U.S. Congresswoman Gwendolynne S. Moore, who served in the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1989-1992, and in the State Senate from 1993-2004.

The collection also includes Correctional Reports for out-of-state prison contracts, and files from various caucuses.
