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.
Tehy don't have everything for every county, so it is a good
idea to call first.
