2.0 c.f. (2 archives boxes, 2 card boxes, and 1 negative box) and 94 photographs (in 3 folders and 1 oversize folder)
: Papers compiled by local historian Griffith Williams consisting of correspondence, writings by various members of the Williams family, and postcards and photographs focusing on the history of Prairie du Chien. The writings consist of the reminiscences of the seven children of Robert and Mabel Williams which they sent to one another as Christmas letters. The bulk of these recollections focus on the decades of the Great Depression and World War II. Also included are copies of Griffith Williams' scrapbooks which detail his personal experiences during World War II and his life in the Prairie du Chien area. Additionally there is an extensive Wisconsin postcard collection which is organized alphabetically by location and thereunder by subject heading. The photographs depict scenes and residents of the Prairie du Chein area.
