Records of a private organization created under the auspices of the Alliance for Progress in 1965 in order to coordinate “people-to-people” assistance projects between the citizens of Wisconsin and Nicaragua. Included are incorporation materials; minutes of meetings; reports on donations, projects, and finances; correspondence between members of the Wisconsin and Nicaraguan Partners, the National Association of the Partners of the Americas (formerly the Partners of the Alliance), the State Department, and other federal and state government agencies; narrative reports penned by travelers between the two countries; information on various agricultural, educational, health, and rural development projects and on earthquake relief efforts; information and guidelines disseminated by NAPA; and clippings, news releases, and brochures. The news clippings principally reflect U.S. and some Nicaraguan media coverage of the social and political conditions under the Somoza/Sandinista regimes and reports on the Partners' work in that context. The photographs primarily document the 1969 and 1973 visits of Wisconsin Governors Warren Knowles and Patrick Lucey to Nicaragua and the damage caused by the December 1972 earthquake in Managua.
