Abstract:
Collection consists of the records of the Milwaukee Press Club, documenting the oldest continuously operating press club in North America. Founded on November 1, 1885, the Milwaukee Press Club brings together members of the print, broadcast and electronic news media and related professions. The centerpiece of the Milwaukee Press Club records is an extensive collection of autographed plaques that have been signed and dated during the Press Club's long history. Initially, the Press Club asked prominent visitors, such as Theodore Roosevelt, to sign the wooden walls of the club itself, but as the number of signers grew, they established the current tradition of chalk signatures on black matte boards. These autographed plaques feature prominent entertainers such as Bob Hope, Tony Bennett, and Gene Autry; political figures such as Harry Truman, Jimmy Carter, and William Jennings Bryan; journalists, including Walter Cronkite and Art Buchwald; and sports figures, such as Babe Ruth, Vince Lombardi, and Stan Musial. In addition to the plaques, the Milwaukee Press Club records include a large collection of photographs which date to the late nineteenth century, copies of the club's annual publication Once a Year, materials relating to the variety of honors awarded annually by the Press Club, and a wide selection of journalistic memorabilia.

Biography/History

The Milwaukee Press Club is the oldest continuously operating press club in North America, and possibly the world. After efforts to establish a press club in Milwaukee failed in 1860, 1882, and 1883, four determined journalists formally established the Milwaukee Press Club on November 1, 1885. The club was to be a means of bringing together members of the newspaper profession, as well as a way to elevate the profession. Since its founding, the club has expanded its membership to include journalists working in other types of media, editors, publishers, and individuals with an interest in the press.

The club also expanded its membership to include women in August 1971, after protests from female journalists and the general public convinced club members to eliminate its "men only" rule. Mary Spletter was the first woman to cross the club's threshold after Press Club members voted to include women, and in addition to having lunch at the club, she was also asked to sign a plaque in honor of the occasion. Prior to 1971, the only female member of the club had been Edna Dunlop, who had joined the Press Club near the turn of the century--prior to the enactment of the no women rule sometime near the turn of the century.

The first location of the Milwaukee Press Club was in the Herold building, on the corner of Mason and Broadway. After a short residency in the Herold building, the Club moved several times in the next nineteen years, before settling into the third floor of the Miller Building, on the corner of Mason and Water Street, in 1904. In 1914, the Press Club moved again, this time to the eighth floor of the Jung Building on Water Street. There the club remained for over 30 years, until 1948, when it relocated to the Fine Arts building on Wells Street. At sometime during its years in the Fine Arts building, the club established a separate "corporate" headquarters, where the business of the club was conducted, while the quarters in the Fine Arts building remained more of a social gathering place for club members. This separation is continued to this day, with the business of the club transpiring primarily from the executive director's home or office, while the clubhouse is maintained as a more social venue.

The club's home in the Fine Arts building served it well for nearly thirty-five years, but in 1983, the club moved its location to the Marc Plaza Hotel on Wisconsin Avenue. Several more moves occurred after 1983, and the club resided for various lengths of time in the Brown Bottle Pub, the Germania building, the Posner building, and the Park East Hotel. Finally, in May 2000, the club completed the process of negotiating an agreement creating the "Milwaukee Press Club Bar" back in the Fine Arts building that had served as the club's home for much of its history.

One of the oldest continuing traditions of the Press Club is an annual picnic, an event dating back to 1895 when Club members would spend a weekend out on Pewaukee Lake. Over the years, other social activities included an annual theater event, which was eventually replaced by a formal dinner and awards ceremony. At the annual Gridiron Dinner, first held in 1917, and annually since 1957, the Press Club honors prominent Wisconsinites with its Headliner Award, and prominent members of both the local and national press with its Sacred Cat award. In 1980, the Press Club also began inducting members of the press into its Hall of Fame, honoring the recipients at an annual dinner of the same name.

In addition to the Sacred Cat, the Headliner and the Hall of Fame awards, the Press Club also holds an annual statewide contest to recognize excellence in journalism and the media. These Journalistic Excellence awards include recognition in sixty-seven different areas, such as best documentary, best sports feature, best editorial, etc., for print, radio, TV, and photographic journalism. Entries for the annual Journalistic Excellence awards are judged by out-of-state journalists, and the winners are honored at the Club's yearly Gridiron Dinner.

Since 1895, the Milwaukee Press Club has published Once A Year on an annual basis. Initially, Once A Year served as both a program and an advertising vehicle for the club's annual theater benefit. Over time, it came to serve as more of a yearbook for the club itself and also as an annual summation of the major events of the year in both Milwaukee and the world.

Series: General Files, 1885-2014
Scope and Content Note

This series consists of the official records of the club, including minutes from the Board of Governor's meetings, correspondence, committee reports and materials relating to the various awards presented by the Press Club and their associated dinners. Also included in this category are financial documents, leases and other records from the club's various locations, and information regarding Club membership and activities. A small collection of original artwork and cartoons from prominent local and national editorial cartoonists is also included. This category of records contains several audiocassette interviews with Press Club members, and a collection of videocassettes related to the Press Club's annual Journalistic Excellence Awards. Several of the videocassettes have material related to topics other than the Journalistic Excellence Awards because tapes were often reused by the Press Club, and some original materials were inadvertently taped over.

A nearly complete run of the Press Club's annual publication, Once a Year, dating to the first issue in 1896, is included in this series. Once a Year is both an annual summary of the Press Club's activities, and a yearbook of noteworthy Milwaukee events and personalities. Many of the annual publications feature original artwork on their covers, and the advertisements in the early issues help illustrate life in Milwaukee during the preceding century.

This series also contains a large collection of photographs dating primarily from the 1960s to the present, but includes images back to the turn of the century. Included in the photographic records are images of plaque signings, speakers, award ceremonies, and dinners. Also included in this category are photographs of Press Club members, a variety of the Press Club's social events, and images of the various locations that have served the Club as home during its history.

Series: Autographed Plaques, 1898-2018
Arrangement of the Materials: Framed plaques are arranged in boxes 16-36 and 47-49; unframed plaques are arranged alphabetically in boxes 57-64 and 66.
Scope and Content Note: Plaques containing the chalk signatures of nearly 1,000 individuals are the centerpiece of the Press Club records. The tradition of garnering the signatures of well-known visitors to the club began in the last few years of the nineteenth century, when the signers would actually autograph the walls of the club itself. When the club moved from that location, they surreptitiously cut the signatures out of the walls and brought them to the new location, where they were framed and once again mounted on the walls. Since approximately 1920, all of the plaques have been made of equally sized black matte boards, which are then autographed in chalk. The plaques have been signed by a broad spectrum of well-known, and some lesser-known, celebrities and public figures. Prominent entertainers, political figures, journalists, sports figures and more have signed and dated plaques during the Press Club's long history. Many of these plaques are on permanent loan to the Milwaukee Press Club, as noted in the inventory. Several plaques were apparently not received with the 1999 donation; these are noted as "location unknown" in the inventory.
Other Finding Aids: An item-level description of the autographed plaques is supplied in the Autographed Plaques section of this finding aid.
