The Sid Boyum Collection, mostly from the 1950s to the 1980s, consists of mixed materials created and collected by Sid Boyum, a cartoonist, commercial graphic artist, industrial photographer and advertising artist for Gisholt Machine Company, and a neighborhood outsider artist largely known for sculpture. The collection primarily contains photographic materials representing his diverse range of artistic talent and production, and documents his active professional and personal life in and around Madison. Visual materials include Boyum's commercial, non-commercial, and cartoon designs in genres such as mechanicals, drawings, paintings, and posters, as well as greeting cards and invitations for area businesses, attractions, and seasonal events. Also includes biographical papers, a photograph album, personal and professional correspondence, writings, and industrial trade magazines, brochures on Gisholt products, clippings, and tear sheets featuring Boyum's art. Some Gisholt materials appear to have been created by other artists, and other artworks are by known and unknown creators. Also includes filmstrips on Gisholt product promotion and films on Boyum's personal life. Additional materials compiled by the non-profit group, Friends of Sid Boyum, document Boyum's sculpture re-location project.
