Part 2 (1994/036): Additions, 1944-1965 2206 photographs (in 3 boxes), and 4127 negatives and 5 transparencies (in 12 boxes) : Negatives and prints, 1944-1965, of Wisconsin spring market hog shows, beef futurity shows, junior livestock expositions throughout the state, the Wisconsin State Fair, and other events. : When this accession was originally processed, a numbering system was used that grouped photographs and negatives together, then numbered everything sequentially by event, then by year, regardless of format. Since the photographs and negatives are filed separately, there are gaps in the numberings of each type of format. As a result, this numbering system is ignored in the contents list.
