The History Center and Archives is the newest in the statewide network of 
Area Research Centers (ARC's) all linked to the State Historical Society 
of Wisconsin.  The Ashland ARC is the northern field office for the State 
Historical Society and is linked with the Madeline Island Historical 
Museum.


The counties that are covered are:  Ashland, Bayfield, Forest, Iron, 
Oneida, Sawyer, Price, Vilas and Washburn.  Collection items of most 
interest to genealogists are the naturalization papers (for all counties
 except Iron); the pre-1907 registrations of birth, death and marriage; 
area newspapers on microfilm (for obits); census rolls for Ashland and 
Bayfield Counties; court records; tax and assessment rolls.

We don't have everything for every county, so it is a good idea to call 
first.  We don't have an individual web-page yet, though information about
 our site can be accessed through the State Historical Society's Archives 
Division home page:  www.shsw.wisc.edu/archives/ -- Searching in ArCat, 
the Archives' On-Line Catalog will allow you to search our 
collections.
