We love finding new ways to share the stories that are found in the documents at the Archives.
Our newest collaboration is with Let Me Be Frank Productions and their upcoming original play, “Fort Howard: We Wipe America.” The UW-Green Bay Archives Department has nearly 150 feet of records pertaining to the Green Bay business, Fort Howard Paper Company. Founded in 1919, by Austin Cofrin, the Company was a national leader in paper manufacturing and the largest local employer. Documents, photos, and employee publications were shared with the Let Me Frank team to lend historical accuracy to their latest theatrical production.
