Abstract:

The Wisconsin 4-H records documents the organization's history from its inception in 1914 to 2018. Wisconsin 4-H began with the goal of reaching farm communities with improved agricultural technology and practices through youth. Local teachers organized clubs in schools and rural communities that developed crop and livestock demonstrations begining in 1914. It expanded over the twentieth century to offer a variety of programming from arts and crafts to drama to veterinary science to both rural and urban youth across the state. The collection documents both the achievements of youth involved in 4-H clubs and the adult volunteers and staff who managed them. The collection includes correspondence, reports, meeting minutes, publications, photographs, lecture notes, project outlines, song sheets, clippings, statistical records, program materials, ephemera, negatives, radio scripts, compact disks, tapes, and miscellaneous materials.
