Records of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (bulk 1930s-1970s) and its predecessors, the Milwaukee Journal and the Milwaukee Sentinel consisting of publisher Irwin Maier's business correspondence as well as correspondence, letters, booklets and industry research from various groups with which he was involved both in the newspaper industry and the community. Also included are articles and correspondence regarding the relationship between Milwaukee Mayor Henry Maier and the Journal Company (1960s-1970s); legal files regarding complaints, libel cases and lawsuits against the Journal Company; files on labor disputes between the Company and its unionized employees including minutes of negotiations and arbitrations, correspondence, case exhibits and rulings; financial records (bulk pre-World War II); and materials documenting the relationship between the Journal and Joseph McCarthy during the early 1950s. Also included are the “historical files” compiled by the Journal Sentinel including public relations materials largely relating to events sponsored by the Company; advertising and circulation materials; historical manuscripts concerning the history of the Company; business documents including material on the Unitholders Council (the employee shareholders board) and Journal Company annual reports (1937-1985); scrapbooks, notably covering Journal newsboys, Lucius Nieman's trip to England during World War I; and Journal publications (bulk 1950s and 1960s) including The Little Journal, an internal Journal Company newsletter. In addition there is a large number of photographs, slides, audio and video materials. Photographs and slides include the history of the Journal, stills from ads, and Milwaukee and the Journal Building. The video covers the Mailers' Strike at the Journal (1961) and a promotional video for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The audio consists largely of Unitholder meetings and other internal recordings.
