The University of Wisconsin - Madison SAA-SC Thanks You!

The University of Wisconsin - Madison SAA-SC would like to thank all the participating repositories for their time and effort in helping us put together entries for this project.

We'd also like to extend a big thanks to our visitors for taking the time to stop by. We've had visits from as close as next door in Madison to as far away as Japan, Macao, and Kazakhstan!

We hope you've learned a bit more about archival institutions throughout Wisconsin - we certainly did. We also got to dabble with some Web 2.0 tools and got a hand at reaching new audiences. From our perspective, this project was a resounding success.

What did you think? Please feel free to leave feedback about what we've done and what you'd like to see in this blog in the future. Your comments can go under the "Comments" section of this post.

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

October is American Archives Month!

In celebration of American Archives Month, the Student Chapter of the Society of American Archivists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison will present a Wisconsin archives repository each week day in October. Beginning October 1, we will post entries about the various institutions around the state that act to preserve and make available for use the records of Wisconsin's rich heritage. These repositories include state and local governments, religious and medical institutions, colleges and universities, libraries, historical societies, museums, and businesses. Our goal is to make the public aware of the wide array of historical materials that are available to them, whether for scholarly research, genealogical study, or just for fun.

Please check back early and often to help us celebrate Wisconsin's archives!
