Abstract:

Papers of Paul Soglin, a Madison, Wisconsin student activist (1962-1972), alderman (1968-1973), and mayor (1973-1978, 1989-1997, and 2011-2019), documenting his involvement with student political actions on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus in the 1960s, his role as a former campus radical on Madison's city council in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and his six terms as a politically progressive mayor. Also documented are his mayoral campaigns, including his failed campaign in 2003, and his involvement with the United States Conference of Mayors. The collection does not contain materials from his years as Madison's 57th mayor (2011-2019).
