Recollection Wisconsin is Live in DPLA!

Recollection Wisconsin is celebrating!  The digital collections from our partners across the state are now available in the Digital Public Library of America!

After three years of collaborative planning and development, Wisconsin’s libraries, archives, historical societies, and museums are joining their peers around the country in providing free online access to their digital collections through DPLA. Nearly 400,000 records representing photographs, books, maps, artifacts and other historical and cultural resources from 186 collections are now part of DPLA. School children, genealogists, and scholars will be able to find unique materials from Wisconsin and about Wisconsin through DPLA’s website.

We are grateful for the work of Recollection Wisconsin’s core partners: Marquette University, Milwaukee Public Library, University of Wisconsin-Madison, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, WiLS, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, and the Wisconsin Historical Society. These Governing Partners each make ongoing in-kind commitments of staff time, expertise, technology infrastructure, and other resources to support the program.
