Learn how a major manuscript collection is being made more accessible to researchers and the public.

The Wisconsin Historical Society describes practical steps to increase how the Draper Collection can be used. It discusses publishing descriptive calendars, sharing photostatic copies, and building a central hub for facsimiles that would aid investigators across states. The goal is to preserve the collection’s unity and make it easier to study the material without duplicating effort or damaging original papers.

Beyond calendars, the text outlines cost considerations, potential funding through public bodies, and the idea of cooperative or regional projects to widen access. The emphasis stays on responsible stewardship while expanding utility for scholars, teachers, and serious historians.

Access through descriptive calendars and published lists to speed research

Photostatic and typed reproductions for legibility and portability

Cross-state collaboration to centralize resources and reduce burden

Commitment to preserving the collection’s integrity while increasing usefulness

Ideal for readers who study regional history, archival management, or the preservation of important manuscript collections.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
