Historical Note
Proposed initially in 1979 by the staff of the Area Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse with support of key UW-L faculty, this photographic survey of La Crosse historical architecture was eventually funded by the city’s Commission on Historic Sites through the block grant program. Barbara “Babs” Conway of Barbara Associates was the freelance photographer hired to document the sites on 35mm slide film. It is unclear exactly when the project was begun, but it took nearly three years to complete.
Existence and Location of Originals
The full original collection including notes by the author is housed at the Area Research Center at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. The La Crosse Public Library received copies of the slides and data cards in 1985.
