Miscellaneous personal papers of the former Wisconsin State
College, Milwaukee professor and chair of the Art Department, including audio cassette
tapes, correspondence, newspaper clippings, photographs, scrapbooks, and slides. The
majority of the papers document Ulbricht's involvement with the Works Progress
Administration (WPA) Handicraft Project in Milwaukee, which employed workers to make
draperies, books, dolls, costumes, furniture, rugs, and prints. Some files were contemporary
with the Handicraft Project; others were produced at a later date. Ulbricht's records of the
Handicraft Project include scrapbooks on the design and use of marionettes and puppets for
project staff and general administrative files. Ulbricht's correspondence files, dating from
1909 to 1978, contain letters to and from friends and colleagues on a variety of topics,
including personal and professional activities and some discussion of the Handicraft
Project. The collection also contains Ulbricht's notes, text, and drawings and plates for an
unpublished book entitled A Crafts Philosophy, and files on
her activities at the Summer School of Painting in Saugatuck, Michigan, which she
directed.
