Abstract:
Research files of William Fletcher Thompson, former State Historian of the Wisconsin Historical Society, for his book on Ernest Edward Schwarztrauber documenting Schwarztrauber's founding of the Portland Labor College and his work with the University of Wisconsin's School for Workers, of which he was the director from 1939-1951. Much of the research consists of interviews, drafts of chapters, notes for revision, and notes on publications. The interviews of Schwarztrauber's colleagues, family, and students give personalized accounts of Schwarztrauber and the labor movement. The bulk of the collection consists of Thompson's notes from source material typed on 5" x 8" pieces of paper and filed in a rough chronological order by book chapter which document subjects covered in the book and Thompson's research process.
