| Draft Counseling and Information Center (Madison, Wis.) | Title: Draft Counseling and Information Center Records, 1968-1974
Quantity: 1.2 c.f. (4 archives boxes) Call Number: Mss 442 Abstract: Records of a volunteer draft counseling service primarily operated for University of Wisconsin students. The contents, chiefly dating from 1970-1971, include counselor training materials, statements to draft boards, conscientious objector claims, and a subject file of pamphlets, reprints, and newsletters collected to provide information to young men about their rights and about alternatives possible under the Selective Service system. Unfortunately, the correspondence is almost entirely routine, and the permanent files on individual counselees containing personal and draft history information are missing. As a result the collection provides only a limited picture of DCIC development and internal operations. |

Quantity: 97.2 cubic feet (491 volumes) and 123 reels of microfilm (35 mm) Call Number: Draper Mss; Micro 1034 Abstract: Papers created and collected by Lyman Draper reflecting his life-long interest in the history of the trans-Allegheny West from the frontier conflicts of the 1740s to the War of 1812. Although Draper's goal was to gather information on military events and the soldiers, scouts, and settlers who battled Indians, the British, and Tory sympathizers as white settlement advanced westward, the materials he collected also document social and economic factors, with details on the role of women and minorities on the frontier, cultural attitudes toward Indians, tribal history and traditions, and opinions on contemporary topics such as the Civil War, Reconstruction policies, the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, and other nineteenth century concerns. The papers are grouped by topic, period, or document type into fifty series. |
