- Description
This folder contains letters from both before and after the death of Increase Allen Lapham. Many of the letters discuss the Wisconsin Geological Survey. Prior to his death, Increase Allen Lapham was involved in the planning of the 1876 Centennial Exposition (also known as the World's Fair) and the planning of exhibits to showcase the technology and natural resources that Wisconsin and the United States were developing and discovering. The Centennial Exposition is therefore, discussed in a number of letters in this folder. Also in this folder are letters regarding private consulting and product testing done by Lapham and other scientists of the time.
