Periodicals

The Wisconsin Magazine of History, published in Madison by the Wisconsin Historical Society, is a quarterly publication with historical articles, book reviews, and listings of acquisitions of historical and genealogical material. There are published indexes to this periodical.

The Wisconsin State Genealogical Society Newsletter, originally titled Wisconsin Families from 1940 to1941, is available quarterly to members or at subscribing libraries. The periodical contains pertinent state activities, queries, and recent publications acquired by the group. The majority of material is the publication of records from Wisconsin counties, including cemetery readings, church records, vital records, newspaper extractions, and other genealogically important items.

Various local and county genealogical and historical societies publish excellent newsletters helpful in research.

Newspapers - Newspaper publishing began in Wisconsin in 1833 with the printing of the Green Bay Intelligencer. First issued on 11 December of that year, it contained four twelve-by-eighteen-inch pages, and was printed semi-monthly for $2 a year.

Included in the outstanding newspaper collection of the Wisconsin Historical Society (second only to the Library of Congress in the U.S.) are over 1,600 titles of Wisconsin's newspapers, almost three-fourths of all the newspaper issues ever published in the state. All Wisconsin newspapers held by the society on microfilm are available through interlibrary loan. The newspaper collection is also useful in the areas of African Americans, ethnic groups, and Native Americans. Specialized bibliographies on some of these collections have been published by the society.

Milwaukee Public Library; Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison (the major Wisconsin newspaper collection; extensive collection of early trans-Appalachian newspapers, labor, black, Native American, ethnic, women's, U.S. Army Camp newspapers, and nineteenth-century religious newspapers).

The Milwaukee Sentinel, which covered statewide local news, has a two-part index (1837-79, 1880-90). Originals are at the Milwaukee Public Library, 814 W. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53233, with microfilm copies at the Wisconsin Historical Society.
