ABSTRACT: This is the loose-leaf journal kept by Howard R. Dunham during his trip across the United States with the Milwaukee State Teachers College singing group in the summer of 1932. The collection also includes photographs and negatives relating to the trip. Other items in the collection include one photograph dated 1930 and another dated 1935.

ACCESS RESTRICTIONS: There are no access restrictions on the materials, and the collection is open to all members of the public in accordance with state law. However, the researcher assumes full responsibility for conforming with the laws of libel, privacy, and copyright which may be involved in the use of this collection (Wisconsin Statutes 19.21-19.39).

ARRANGEMENT: Dunham attempted to maintain the relationship between journal entries and photographs by numbering each photograph on the reverse and writing that number, usually in blue pencil, in the left-hand margin of the journal leaves. The archives used this system to identify as many of the photographs as possible. However, many remain unidentified. The negatives have been removed from the collection and are being stored with other negatives.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE: Howard R. Dunham was born on February 9, 1912 in Milwaukee. He spent his early life in Wauwatosa and graduated from high school there.

He came to Kenosha in 1944 and was Kenosha High School's first band director. After leaving Kenosha High School in 1955, he became Elementary Band director, a position he held until his retirement in 1977. Howard Dunham died in Kenosha on December 7, 1980.
