Abstract:

Records, mainly 1938-1958, of a local chapter of the American Red Cross established in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1905. The records primarily relate to public relations and include nationally-produced radio and television spots that were aired in Madison, photographs and posters, clipping scrapbooks (only available on microfilm) and newsletters (only available on microfilm). The documentation relates not only to general chapter activities but also to the Junior Red Cross program and the Badger Blood Center, the regional blood center established in 1950. The scrapbooks document local activities during World War II and the immediate postwar years.
