Description: Photographs, drawings, and other materials illustrating the general history of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. Included are interior and exterior views of facilities and building construction, programs and activities, historic sites, and museum exhibits. There are also formal and candid photographs of staff members and administrative program groups. The exhibit files include views of permanent and temporary installations, as well as receptions for exhibit openings. The activities files primarily document annual meetings, Founders' Day, local history meetings, activities of the Junior Historian program, other special events, and group portraits of the staff. The majority of the photographs were assembled into albums by Paul Vanderbilt, the former head of Iconography, although they were later disassembled for researcher convenience. Coverage becomes very incomplete after Vanderbilt's 1972 retirement, although material continues to be added.
