Thank You!

The University of Wisconsin – Madison Society of American Archivists – Student Chapter would like to thank each of the participating institutions for their time and effort in contributing to our blog this year. We had contributions from a great variety of county and local historical societies, historical research centers, and public libraries from around the state. We have enjoyed working with them all and have learned a lot during the process.

Thanks also to all of our visitors. Our visitor traffic more than doubled this year compared to last year, which is great! We very much appreciate your stopping by, and we hope that you have learned more about some of Wisconsin’s local history institutions and the hidden historical treasures within them. If you’re inspired, we encourage you to check out the historical institutions in your own community to learn more.

Have any comments on this year’s blog? Please feel free to leave feedback about our efforts this year and/or what you might like to see in this blog in the future.

In addition to the blog, some members of the University of Wisconsin - Madison Society of American Archivists - Student Chapter arranged a display, using their own personal scrapbooks and scrapbook ephemera, in honor of Wisconsin's Archives Month. The exhibit was housed at the School of Library and Information Studies, Helen C. White Hall (Madison), and was displayed from October 17-31. Below are some images of the project and the students who assembled the display.



Again, thank you! We'll see you again next October for American Archives Month!
