The Master FA - GovOffice
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; arrests and 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 on that 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. The types and their abbreviations are as follows:
A = Artifacts (Simple objects, material items. Examples: farm implements, a medical instrument used by
Dr. Nicholas Senn, an article of clothing worn by an early settler)
AP = Atlases and Plat Books
B = Books
C = Charts and Posters
EM = Electronic Media (films, tapes, discs, videos, CD’s, DVD’s, etc)
F = Folders other than the Reese Collection of Folders (Found under “Archives” on the web site)
G = Genealogies and Family Histories
N = Collections of News Clippings
P = Photos
R = A collection of research notes on local history by Mr. Roderick Reese. For further information about
Mr. Reese and the exceptionally informative collection of his papers, click on the word Reese, above.
S = Scrapbooks
LHS = Local History Series
CS = Cemetery Series
P folder = Patron folder. These have the same number as the folder item number. They are not found on the open shelves. Ask a patron helper to get the folder for you.

|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 a researcher who|
|recorded the inscriptions 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. |
|Further information on the history of a cemetery may also be found under Churches/Religion. |
