Abstract:
Black and white photographs and negatives and some color photographs transferred from the department's “duplicate and dormant” photograph file. The photographs document Wisconsin's natural resources including state parks and forests, various rivers and streams, and outdoor recreation including hunting and fishing as well as DNR personnel, facilities, and activities such as law enforcement; management of fish, forest, and wildlife resources; conservation education and camps; Conservation Congresses; response to natural disasters such as fires and floods; and air and water pollution control and other environmental protection activities. Also included are photographs of Carroll D. Besadny (some from an undated trip to the Soviet Union), Anthony Earl, Patrick J. Lucey, H.W. Mackenzie, Fred Risser, and Tommy Thompson. The majority of the photographs are unidentified and undated; a few may date from the agency's existence as the Department of Conservation. Many of the prints without negatives are stamped with the DNR's multi-digit negative number. In transferring these prints to SHSW from their duplicate and dormant file, it is not known if the department culled their corresponding negatives.
