The Local History Affiliate Directory provides information on over 440 local affiliates of the Wisconsin Historical Society. Where possible, it lists facilities, open hours, and contact information.

NEW: Local History Affiliate Directory, organized by county. Updated June 2022.

For further information, please contact Amy Norlin.

Note: Please call or email the local society before visiting the address listed in the directory. In some cases, addresses indicate the physical location of the society; many societies, however, do not own buildings and the address only represents an officer contact or post office box.

File an Annual Report to Update Your Listing

Local affiliates are required to file an annual report, which is used to update the Local History Affiliate Directory. After January 1 of each year, local affiliates are able to access the previous year's annual report filing system online here. View important filing requirements here.
