Quantity: 3.2 c.f. (5 archives boxes and 3 flat boxes) and 9 photographs
Call Number: Milwaukee Mss 214; PH Milwaukee Mss 214
Abstract: Papers of Conrad A.E. Saskowski, a son of Polish immigrants, who established himself as a composer of operettas and musicals that disseminated Polish-American culture to Milwaukee. The bulk of the collection (1939-1949) is comprised of compositions arranged by genre--operettas, sacred works, and musicals. In addition to the vocal and orchestral parts, this collection features scripts and synopses of his compositions, and correspondence, publicity materials, and programs relating to his productions. As a founding member of the Polish Fine Arts Club, Saskowski was an active promoter of both the club's activities and his own compositions, especially his two major operettas, Polonaise (1939) and Blond Squaw (1949) which was revived in 1978 and renamed Spring Song. Of particular note is Saskowski's working relationship with Jerzy Bojanowski who conducted the premiere of Polonaise in 1939 and helped arrange Saskowski's Credo from Latin Mass in A (1978) that was subsequently titled Mass in Honor of Our Lady of Czestochowa (1984) and ultimately performed at Saskowski's funeral.

Quantity: 1.8 c.f. (5 archives boxes) and 8 photographs
Call Number: Green Bay Mss 180; PH 6498
Abstract: Records of the Save Our Sylvania Action Committee (SOSAC), an environmental organization formed in 1969 and incorporated in Green Bay, Wisconsin, by Jerome Gandt, whose mission was to prevent the development of the Sylvania tract in the Ottawa National Forest (near Watersmeet, Michigan) by the U.S. Forest Service. SOSAC went to court in 1969 seeking an injunction against further Forest Service development of the tract, which motion was denied. However, this action set a precedent in environmental law by ruling individuals could bring suit against governmental agencies for other reasons than alleged personal damages. After the court hearing, SOSAC shifted its focus to include broader national environmental issues and in December 1971, changed its name to Wilderness Watch, Inc. The bulk of the material includes correspondence between Gandt and various political figures, most notably Senator Gaylord Nelson and the Secretary of Agriculture, Clifford Hardin. The remaining materials include background material, court proceedings, news clippings, membership lists, and environmental newsletters. Also included are 8 photographs of the Sylvania wilderness area (circa 1969).
