Abstract:

Papers of Arthur Wileden, a nationally prominent University of Wisconsin professor of rural sociology, consisting primarily of reports on studies of 17 rural southwestern Wisconsin communities, entitled "Rural Community Analysis, South Central Wisconsin." The reports were produced by students in Wileden's community development course which focused on one community each year. They document the history, ethnicity, religion, education, business, industry, agriculture, government, and recreation for the Wisconsin cities of Belleville, Cambridge, Dodgeville, Edgerton, Evansville, Jefferson, Lake Mills, Lodi, Mineral Point, Mt. Horeb, Poynette, Prairie du Sac, Randolph, Rio, Stoughton, Sun Prairie, and Waterloo. Also includes 5 produced slide shows, with audio recordings, on resource and community development; and other writings.
