Finding Aid

for the Holdings of the Campbellsport Area Historical Society

(Abbreviation: CAHS)

Arranged according to Topic Category

Most recent update: March 29, 2010

PURPOSES OF THE FINDING AID

O To assist users in locating material

O To inform users about CAHS holdings

O To serve as an inventory of holdings

USING THE FINDING AID (FA)

Campbellsport Area Historical Society is abbreviated CAHS.

Explanation of the structure of the Finding Aid:

1 The abbreviation in the first column stands for the topic category or categories dealt with in the item (See

explanation below)

2 The number in the second column of the Finding Aid is the item number (See list of item names below.) It is

there simply to help you find the material quickly if you are working at the CAHS area in the library It is also

used as the link for items which can be viewed online.

3 The third column describes the item

4 The fourth column tells what can be viewed onsite, that is, at the CAHS (Campbellsport Area Historical

Society) area of the Campbellsport Public Library It also tells if the material is in a comb-bound Cemetery

Series book or a Local History Series book and/or in a patron folder ( P folder ) Patron folders have the same item number as the folder in general

5 The last column tells what you can view online If there is nothing online, it will say “None”, and there will

be no link In that case, you can request the information or come in person to do the research If the FA

(Finding Aid) indicates that there is something which can be viewed online, ordinarily you can click on the

item number, or in the case of cemeteries, on the name of the cemetery, and the “folder” will open up before you

Steps:

1 This Finding Aid is arranged according to topics dealt with in the folders or other items

Decide which of the topic categories below is most likely to contain information you want

Click on the link word or words, and that entire section of the Finding Aid will open up.

2 Look over the list and decide if any of the items might contain what you want Click on

the link If it is a cemetery, the link will usually be the name of the cemetery Otherwise, it

will be the item number This will open up that particular item for you to view If that does not prove helpful, try another category.

3 OR – Once a folder is open, you can use Edit/Find to locate the information within that

folder

The Topic Categories:

Ag Agriculture: Some examples would be accounts of the weather as it affected the crops in a given year; invention or

introduction of new farming equipment (e.g., the combine in the 1940s); agricultural statistics; effect of the WWII on local

farming; soil analysis, etc A list of local farmers from a given period could fit under Agriculture or People, but People would

be the preferred category

AP Atlases and Plat Maps Atlases of Fond du Lac County from the 1800s and early 1900s included plat maps, as well as

historical data and lists of patrons for each township

Bs Businesses: Some examples: construction of a new store building (would probably be under Businesses rather than

Buildings); a history of a certain business, e.g., the Bernard Ullrich Cigar plant; account of the state of local businesses during

the Depression The Reese Collection contains a great deal about businesses

Bu Buildings : Some examples: fire destroying a local barn (this could also be under agriculture); account of the construction of

a new bank; article about types of rock found locally which are commonly used in construction of public buildings; changes

of ownership of a certain building; the razing of a local church after the construction of a new church, e.g., Shepherd of the

Hills The latter would probably be listed under both Buildings and Churches/Religion.

Ce Cemetery Data Base This includes information on many cemeteries in the area, whether private, public, or associated with a

church There will usually be a list of burials as well as some introductory information on the history and location of the

cemetery, and church, if connected with a church The burial information was usually obtained from lists drawn up by researchers who recorded the inscriptions as they appeared on the headstones At times, cemetery office records were

available, and in a few cases, information was obtained from a copy of the parish register of deaths The Cemetery Data Base

can be entered directly, without going through the Finding Aid See also the USGenWeb Archives Project for updated

information and photographs for some cemeteries.

Ch Churches /Religion: A variety of examples: histories of the founding of a given parish/congregation; religious beliefs of a

given congregation; description of the stained glass windows in a given church (would probably be listed also under

Buildings); centennial celebration, religious events; parish picnics; newspaper account of charitable work or event of a given

church; parish registers of births/baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and deaths

CR Civil Records: Most of these would be found at court houses, but a few might be found in libraries, national or state archives

(and copied and then placed in our collection), abstract offices, or even in required newspaper reporting of certain land transactions or the vacation of streets They would include the following: births, marriages, and deaths (but note that

recording of these was not required in Wisconsin until about 1900, so early records are hit and miss); surveying records; land and property records (legal descriptions, grantor and grantee records in case of sale…); abstracts; lawsuits; tax records; arrestsand incarcerations; fines; naturalization records…

DL Daily Life: This could include many things! Clothing styles, entertainment, town picnics, local customs about how area

people did just about anything, e,g, how farmers grouped together for threshing, how the washing of clothing was done, etc might all fit here

Ec Economy: This is more general than the topics of Businesses and Finances Examples: newspaper article on many farmers

losing their farms in the 1980s (could also check Agriculture); articles about local economy in the Depression and articles

about recovery during and after WWII; analytical account of factors affecting local economy…

Ed Education : Some examples: anything about schools or a specific school; High School Year Books; lists of teachers,

administrators, graduates, or school programs or activities Information on the school buildings might be found under

Education and/or Buildings.

Fi Finances: This refers to actual financial records (ledgers, computer printouts, etc.) CAHS will probably never have much of

this It does include insurance information.

Ge Genealogy & Family histories: This consists mainly in genealogies and family trees done by people from the area

Gl Geology : In the case of Mr Reese’s folders, this usually refers to lakes and ponds Occasionally, there is a brief reference to

the terrain or type of soil Conservation projects also fit here

Go Government: This refers to local government, not county, state, or federal It also refers to law Some examples: lists of

village board members, governmental structures, positions; articles or information on a rezoning issue; group of lawyers

forming new office (also under People); voting on change in a specific law; election results.

Gr Groups / Organizations: This refers to local organizations, societies, clubs, religious orders, etc Examples: An article on

activities of local chapter of Knights Templar; Scouts; music groups; sports teams; a book on the history of the School Sisters

of St Francis (included here because the order was founded here, and because it has its largest retirement home in

Campbellsport) Articles on groups that are not specifically local are under Other.

Hs Histories: These are principally about local history of a general nature These items may also be listed under other topic

categories Examples: 1) A list and description of early businesses in the area would be under Businesses, as well as early

history 2) An account of the founding period for a certain church would go under Churches/Religion, as well as Histories 3)

A history telling about the early settlers would, of course, be under histories.

IS Infra -structures: Information about electricity, telephone, roads, sewerage, etc

Mi Military records: The CAHS does not have any actual governmental military records, but an account of someone’s

experiences in the Civil War could be included here, although it would more likely be under People.

O Other: Most items fit under named categories, but occasionally an item has a class all by itself For example, the flood of

1924 is listed under Other It is an extraordinary event

Pe People: In general, this refers to items where the emphasis is on individual people, not groups This could include articles

about a given person, short biographies, obituaries, engagement and marriage announcements, an article about a local person graduating from high school (emphasis is on an individual, not the class), an article about a local person becoming a famous actor, etc There is often some overlap with a number of other categories, such as businesses, founding period histories, family histories, etc

PO Property Ownership: This is often similar to an abbreviated abstract It focuses on a specific plot of land, sometimes listing

the succession of owners, sometimes including uses of the land/property The Reese Collection contains quite a few folders onthat topic Both rural and city/town records can be found here In the case of rural plots, the legal description is usually given

In the case of the towns, block and lot numbers are given Plat maps from the 1893 Atlas of Fond du Lac County (item number AP-01) are provided for some towns to help researchers determine the exact location

PS Public Services: Examples: police, fire, libraries, parks, Chamber of Commerce

The Item Numbers:

CAHS has among its holdings a variety of types of materials The first one or 2 letters of the item number of an

item indicates which type the item is Thus, an item whose item number is B-089 tells you that the item is a book

Dr Nicholas Senn, an article of clothing worn by an early settler)
