Annette E. Scherbert was elected as Milwaukee’s 11th District alderwoman in 1984. In the early 1960s she was a grade school teacher at Walt Whitman Elementary School in Milwaukee. During her time teaching, she had a student named Joe Dudzik who eventually succeeded her as alderman in the 11th district. In 1994, she and other common council members blocked a proposed Indian Council for the Elderly senior housing project. This initiated a lawsuit by the U.S. Justice Department, costing the City of Milwaukee about $750,000 to settle. Scherbert retired from her position in early in 2001 for health reasons and endorsed Dudzik as her successor. Scherbert passed away in 2015.

This collection contains records from the City of Milwaukee’s 11th District Alderwoman, Annette E. Scherbert. The original subject headings from aldermanic staff have been kept intact as much as possible. This collection includes reports, statistics, publications, correspondence, ordinance copies/drafts, newspaper clippings and articles. The largest subject is related to the Indian Council of the Elderly Housing Project which also includes the folders on Armour Park. The housing project was proposed within the Armour Park area. There are also numerous folders related to guns/handguns. The earliest gun related materials that predate Scherbert’s aldermanic tenure are all photocopies.

Folders are arranged alphabetically by subject and then chronologically within each folder.
