 *Smith, Alice E., ed. ''Guide to the Manuscripts of the Wisconsin Historical Society''. Madison, Wisconsin: State Historical Society of Wisconsin, 1944, 1957. (Family History Library book {{FHL|173600|title-id|disp=977.5 A5w}}; {{FHL|173662|title-id|disp=977.5 A5w supp. 1}}.) A second supplement was published in 1966 (not available at the Family History Library). These guides contain references to the papers of many families and businesses.
 The Wisconsin Historical Society has an on-line Wisconsin Genealogy Index that indexes the pre-1907 vital records and other records.&nbsp; It is available at&nbsp;&nbsp; http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/vitalrecords/<br>

 The society houses collections of regional interest at area research centers. These centers often have census records; pre-1907 birth, marriage, and death records; probate records; tax records; school records; church records; naturalization records; and other local historical records.
