Roth, Arthur E.
Description:
Arthur "Art" Roth was born in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, in 1886, and resided there until his death in 1968. Roth delivered packages for the American Railway Express Agency as well as for the US Post Office, often using a motorcycle as his preferred method of transportation. In addition to being an early motorcycling enthusiast in the early 1900s, he was also an accomplished motorcycle mechanic. This photograph collection is unique as it captures Roth's life as a mail carrier, a motorcycle racer and recreationist, and a cross-country traveler. Some the images contained within follow Roth's journey from Wisconsin to Niagara Falls in 1912, with stops in Chicago, Cleveland, Toronto, and Buffalo. This collection is comprised of original acetate negatives, glass plate negatives, photographic prints, and real photo postcards. His collection of glass plate negatives, acetate negatives, prints and postcards are located in University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Murphy Library special collections.

Description:
The Freedom Flotilla, also known as the Mariel Boatlift, occurred in 1980 after President Carter opened the doors to the United States for hundreds of thousands of Cuban refugees, of which nearly 15,000 would eventually arrive at the resettlement camp at Fort McCoy in western Wisconsin. Countless regional and national news articles were published following and highlighting both the positive and negative events that came with the refugees, many of whom were classified as criminals under the Fidel Castro government. This collection contains photographs and a local publication titled El Mercurio de McCoy. The photographs were taken by journalists reporting on the Cuban Odyssey, most of whom worked for the La Crosse Tribune, bringing together nearly 250 images of individuals and events directly involved with the Freedom Flotilla.
