The books in the Wisconsin Local Histories collection document and present the history of Adams, Columbia, Dane, Green, Portage, Sauk, and Wood Counties and communities therein. The collection includes:

• Written histories of all seven counties.
• Histories of individual communities, including Albany, Belleville, Cambria, Cambridge, Columbus, Fitchburg, Madison, Monroe, Prairie du Sac, Reedsburg, and Waunakee.
• Historical volumes dealing with the cheese and cranberry industries and natural resources of the region.
• Farm directories of Wood County.
• Works dealing with local military history.

This project was completed in cooperation with the Wisconsin South Central Library System (SCLS) using materials contributed from the collections of SCLS member public libraries.
