Abstract:

Papers of Lee B. Winner, who was employed by the Bureau of Indian Affairs as a forester with the Menominee Indian Mills from 1948 until approximately 1961, when the federal government terminated its control of the Menominee reservation. Winner was credited with the first application of automatic data processing in forestry, although actual statistical data on the Menominee forest is present only in fragmentary form. This collection documents Winner's work with the adaptation of IBM procedures to forestry. Also documented is the federal government's termination of control over the Menominee reservation, leading to the subsequent formation of Menominee County. In addition, there are notes and correspondence, mostly 1971, relating to a lawsuit by the Menominee Tribe against the federal government for alleged losses suffered by the tribe due to mismanagement of the forest. The collection also includes a significant amount of correspondence between Winner and Calvin B. Scott, a forester who was employed in Milwaukee by the Forest Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
