| Nuesse, Joseph | Title: Joseph Nuesse Papers, circa 1841-circa 1925
Quantity: 0.2 c.f. (1 archives box) Call Number: Green Bay Mss 157 Abstract: Papers, circa 1841-circa 1925, of Joseph Nuesse, who emigrated from Germany to Green Bay, Wisconsin in 1869, and soon moved to the Town of Sevastopol, Door County, where he farmed and was a founder of SS. Peter and Paul Congregation and the Sevastopol Mutual Fire Insurance Corporation. The collection contains records of genealogical interest and of real estate transactions, some original but many photocopies; and letters received from relatives in Germany, 1891-1920, which have been transcribed and translated. The letters describe living conditions and social change, including the time following World War I. Also present is a description of the collection and an article about Nuesse incorporating much of the information found here, written by his grandson, C. Joseph Nuesse. |
| Nukewatch (Progressive Foundation) | Title: Nukewatch Records, 1979-2004
Quantity: 5.6 c.f. (5 record center cartons, 2 archives boxes, and 1 oversize folder), 312 photographs and 155 transparencies in 2 archives boxes, 197 negatives on 54 strips (1 negative box), 9 tape recordings, and 2 videorecordings; plus additions of 0.4 c.f. Call Number: Mss 1071; PH 6633; Audio 1503A; VHA 977; VHB 283; M2010-157 Abstract: Records, 1979-2004, of Nukewatch, a national antinuclear group formed in Madison, Wisconsin, and later based in Luck, Wisconsin. Nukewatch began in 1979 as an educational project of the Progressive Foundation, which in turn grew out of fundraising by The Progressive magazine to meet the costs associated with its attempted publication of an article containing alleged atomic bomb secrets. After the legal case was dropped, the foundation transformed its mission to antinuclear education and action. The records primarily concern “Truck Watch,” a project begun in 1984 that monitored the shipment of nuclear missiles by truck from assembly plants to military installations around the country, and non-violent direct actions directed against Project ELF, a controversial Navy communications system located in Northern Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. |
