Part 1 (Micro 948, La Crosse Micro 12, SC 775, PH SC 775, PH 4912, Audio 1068A): Original Collection, 1942-19573 reels of microfilm (35 mm), 0.1 cubic feet (1 folder), 0.2 cubic feet of photographs (2 folders), and 59 audio recordings (disc) The collection consists primarily of explanations and plans for the Polish study, case histories, notes on Independence, correspondence, materials relating to the projected study report, and sound recordings. Some items not concerning the study in the MISCELLANY series include articles, lectures, and photographs of Zawacki at a Marquette University presentation; speaking on the Cuba situation at a YGOP rally in Madison, Wisconsin; and driving a car with a placard on top, "Vote Right, Vote Yes, Frank Lloyd Wright Monona Terrace Site." The Research Project Materials are organized in four series: Correspondence and Study Explanation, Research Material, Study Report, and Discs and Tapes. The CORRESPONDENCE AND STUDY EXPLANATION series details the purpose and intent of the study and its preparation; and includes some correspondence between Zawacki and Pawlowski. The correspondence, while documenting the progress of the study, is quite fragmentary therefore does not permit reconstruction of the exact study chronology. The core of the collection is the RESEARCH MATERIAL series. It contains materials from Pawlowski's field work such as case histories and notes on residents; interviews with community officials; notes on city and county governments, and community institutions and their development; and summaries and reports on local activities and events. The bulk of the series is eighty-four case histories consisting of the questionnaires, several hundred questions in length, asked of each subject during an interview. The interview sought information on family history, religious and political beliefs and marriage and funeral customs, among other things. These were often supplemented by Pawlowski's notes and any relevant published information. The case histories are arranged chronologically by date of the interview and are preceded in the collection by an annotated table of contents produced by Zawacki. Included in the STUDY REPORT are outlines, notes and questions, the introduction to the report, and two chapter drafts of the proposed report. Though sketchy, the material outlines Zawacki's strategy for establishing control over the research data as well as his basic summaries of the study's findings. There are 59 DISC RECORDINGS with tape copies of Polish and American folk songs and religious hymns sung in Polish and in English. In addition, they include discussions of Polish and American folkways and instrumental Polish folk music. The discs were probably recorded by Ms. Pawlowski as part of her field work in Independence.
