Personal and business papers of Michael B. Olbrich, a Madison, Wisconsin, attorney and civic leader. In politics a Progressive Republican, Olbrich was deputy attorney general for Wisconsin, 1919-1921, special counsel for the state, 1921-1926, and a regent of the University of Wisconsin, 1925-1929. General correspondence relates primarily to Olbrich's political interests prior to 1920, to legal cases which he handled for the state, and to University affairs during his years as regent. In his political correspondence are letters written by or exchanged with Robert M. La Follette, John J. Blaine, and Emanuel L. Philipp. More than half of the collection comprises correspondence, financial records, and court papers pertaining to the land and sheep-ranch speculations in Montana in which Olbrich engaged from 1909 until his death. Most of these records relate to the Judith Basin Land Company, the Home Ranch Land Company, and the Flat Willow Land Company.
