Peters
About
91´«Ã½
John Peters was recognized for his many years of service at the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and its library, both at the federal and state level. His efforts as the regional depository librarian were well appreciated by the selectives he served. In addition, his efforts at attempting to improve the document depository law in Wisconsin finally paid off in 1992 with the enactment of 1991 Wisconsin Act 285 on April 29th---the culmination of nearly twenty years of attempts.
In addition, John educated several generations of students in the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Library and Information Studies about government information resources and continues to volunteer his time as a government publications reference librarian at the SHSW Library.
As stated in John's nomination letter, his "contributions have greatly benefited the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, documents librarians, library science students, document collections around the state, and the library profession. He is very deserving of this award."
