Wisconsin Corporations (Businesses and Non-Profits)

The Archives houses incorporation papers and charter documents for thousands of Wisconsin corporations, 1848-1993. Two different indexes cover these records:

• "Domestic" Corporations Index, 1848-1945.
  For-profit businesses incorporated under Wisconsin laws.
  
  
• "Non-Stock" Corporations Index, 1889-1993.
  Non-stock corporations are clubs, civic, social, charitable, and other non-profit organizations which have incorporated under Wisconsin’s laws.
