An oral history project undertaken by members of the Wisconsin Extension Homemakers Council as a celebration of the organization's 50th anniversary, focusing on the life stories of Wisconsin homemakers and on the influence of the WEHC in their lives. Included are tape-recorded interviews, transcripts, a published guide to the project, a copy of "Taste Wisconsin History" (a cookbook derived from the project), photographs, a copy of a slide/tape show with accompanying script, publicity materials, and discussion guide, and a script for a play based on the oral histories.
Copies of everything in the collection are available in Madison in accession M90-325. A duplicate set of transcripts has been divided according to the counties of residence of the interviewees and is housed at the appropriate area research centers. Duplicate copies of the slide/tape show were sent to the River Falls, Green Bay, Milwaukee, Stevens Point, and Northland area research centers and a copy of the cookbook and the published guide was sent to each area research center. (The duplicate transcripts still are considered part of this collection; the slide/tape show copies and the publications are considered as given to the centers for integration into their campus resources as best suits each campus.)
