Historical Note
A coordinated project of the University of Wisconsin Extension, the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, and the Downtown La Crosse Business Association, this visual representation and analysis of downtown La Crosse businesses, streets, and buildings gives a glimpse of what downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin, looked like in November-December 1977. A final report was produced titled "La Crosse's Downtown" (1978?).
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of 212 color slides, most of which were taken in the downtown La Crosse (Wis.) area. The slides are representative views of downtown streets, buildings and businesses from the original 1000 slides. There are also some interior photographs of some businesses. A press release and a script used during the actual slide presentation are also included. Although the script is numbered, the numbers do not correspond to the slide numbers.
Arrangement
The slides are arranged by address starting with Front Street and then numbered streets. The numbered streets are followed by named streets in alphabetical order. Each slide is numbered and there is a cross reference list provided by the name of the business. The names of businesses used are those that were in operation at the time the slides were taken in November 1977 rather than the names currently in use.
