Rita -
Thanks for sharing that information - Are these family brochures similar to family data
sheets? For example, is it a created "book" of information, or is it only for
published books.
I was wondering, because some of the libraries in the central Wisconsin region are
collecting family data sheets or family histories. It might be nice if Tina could start a
page of "organizations" (like the one you mentioned) who are collecting written
data. For example, when I went to the Mauston library, they have a small "local
history room" and found a nicely done family history on one of my ancestral lines.
It had contact information on it and I was able to find a long lost cousin. I am also
aware that Monroe has a local history room where they have vast amounts of data available.
Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Hello all,
Recently I had a request from a site visitor on where to send their family ancestral
booklets to places that would make them available to interested researchers. Here is the
gracious and welcoming response from Deb at the Area Resource Center ; Coffrin Library
Special Collections in Green Bay, Wisconsin. They have extensive holdings for the
northeastern counties of Wisconsin. I am sharing this with her written permission.

Hi!
I coordinate the Area Research Center at UW-Green Bay. We would welcome copies of your
books for our library. Family historians such as yourself help us preserve important
parts of local history.
Your books would be cataloged and made available through the University's online
Library catalog. This also means they would be cataloged in national library catalogs so
people all over the world would know they exist and where to find them. We regularly
respond to questions from genealogists who are researching particular families or
communities. We would thus be prepared to help those who might contact us about the book
and its content. The books would also fit well with our holdings of Oconto and Marinette
documents of vital records, court records, land records, and citizenship records.
You may send your books to my attention at:
Debra Anderson
andersod(a)uwgb.edu
UW-Green Bay Area Research Center
Cofrin Library
2420 Nicolet Drive
Green Bay WI 54311
If you have any questions or need further information, please let me know.
