Papers of University of Wisconsin-Marathon County Center faculty member James J. Lorence. Born and raised in Racine, Wis., he attended UW-Racine (now UW-Parkside) and later UW-Milwaukee where he earned a B.S. in Social Studies-Education in 1960 and an M.S. in History in 1964. In 1966 while writing his dissertation for his doctorate at UW-Madison, Lorence accepted a teaching position at UW-Marathon County (UW-MC), where he taught until June 2001. The papers reflect Lorence's political and social interests, focusing on his involvement in the political campaigns of democratic and progressive candidates on the local, state and national levels from 1968-1984, his anti-war views on the Vietnam and Persian Gulf wars including the formation of the Wausau Area Draft Information Service, and the political history of Marathon County. The papers consist of his anti-war activism files, information on the New Democratic Coalition, records pertaining to the political campaigns in which he was involved, research files on Judge Gerald Boileau, speeches made by Lorence, subject files, and files collected during his tenure at UW-MC. Also included are 3 audio cassettes which consist of oral history interviews conducted by Lorence during his research on Judge Boileau.
