Abstract:

Papers and photographs collected and created by Jerald Teesdale, amateur photographer, antique automobile enthusiast, gun collector, and life-long resident of Shorewood Hills, Madison, Wisconsin. The papers include: family account books; materials related to his father, Laurence [Lawrence?] Victor Teesdale, an engineer at the United States Forest Products Laboratory; material collected by Jerald Teesdale about Woodcraft Camp (Waushara County, Wisconsin) where he spent summers as a youth; information about his career in the United States Navy (1945-1951); and a diary of his trip to the 1933 World's Fair. The majority of the photographs document the built environment around southern Wisconsin including Madison and Dane County. Additional photographs document summers spent at Woodcraft Camp and Camp Indianola (Dane County, Wisconsin); his service in the United States Navy (1945-1951); and his father's work.
