UW Extension's Bureau of Audio-Visual
Instruction (BAVI), initially named the Bureau of Visual Instruction, circulated films,
slides, and other audiovisual aids to teachers, county agents, and organizations across
Wisconsin, beginning in 1915. Beginning in 1947 with "Better Schools for Rural Wisconsin,"
BAVI staff produced full scale films and television programs in collaboration with
UW-Madison and UW Extension faculty and external organizations. This collection documents
the production of numerous films by the Bureau of Audio Visual Instruction (BAVI) and
community partners, BAVI's outreach efforts including the activities of film appreciation
groups across the state, and the composition of BAVI's visual aid and later film library.
Materials document how BAVI worked with numerous Wisconsin state agencies, the City of
Milwaukee, the Anti-Defamation League, WHA-TV (now Wisconsin Public Television), and the
United States Office of Information while also promoting University of Wisconsin faculty
research in fields including agriculture, anthropology, political science, geography,
languages, healthcare, music, social work, and psychology. Materials in the collection
include: visual aid bulletins, film bulletins and catalogs, film study guides, shooting
scripts, narration scripts, film proposals and treatment documents, research and publicity
clippings, laboratory orders, film budgets, outlines, handwritten notes, internal and
external correspondence, interview transcripts, grant proposals, photographs, negatives,
production schedules, audience surveys, press releases, correspondence based course
materials, meeting minutes, publications, pamphlets, conference schedules, and title cards.
The vast majority of materials focus on the period from 1948 to 1965, and both prior and
later periods are sparsely documented in publications, film library catalogs, and a few
miscellaneous records.
