General
* Wisconsin Electronic Reader: "A cooperative digital imaging project of the University of Wisconsin-Madison General Library System and the State Historical Society of Wisconsin." This site served as a general background for our research into the history of Wisconsin and Madison. Chapters of particular interest include: Madison Past and Present (1902), and The History of the University of Wisconsin by Reuben Gold Thwaites (1900). Several sections of our site make use of information from the Reader.
