Abstract:
Scrapbooks, 1946-1958, prepared annually by the Division of Highway Safety Promotion of the Motor Vehicle Department as part of Wisconsin's participation in the National Traffic Safety Contest (later the Annual Inventory of Traffic Safety Activities competition conducted by the National Safety Council), together with photographs about safety activities compiled for earlier, similar uses. The compilations were used by the council as the basis for making awards to states and localities on the basis of their accident and death records and the quality of their overall safety programs. Wisconsin also participated in the National Pedestrian Protection Control of the American Automobile Association.
