Off-Site Research Requests

Off-site reference and research requests are accepted via telephone (715-836-2739), fax (715-836-2949), or e-mail via the form below. Please make your requests concise and specific and please request no more than 5 pieces of information at a time. No research fee is charged, but photocopying will be charged at 10 cents per page.

Some of our records are on microfilm and may be borrowed through interlibrary loan services at your local library, with the exception of vital statistics records. Please contact us for information on how to do this. Archival materials in the Area Research Center can be transferred to another ARC or to the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison.
