The Wisconsin Historical Museum is often asked to suggest someone to evaluate art or artifacts. The museum, like all other museums, is not permitted to provide appraisal services. There are many professional appraisers in Wisconsin and nearby areas of Minnesota and Illinois.
The following list of appraisers is provided to you as a service by the Wisconsin Historical Society. This in no way constitutes an endorsement of these appraisers.
NOTE: The designation "ASA" indicates that the individual named was listed as a member of the American Society of Appraisers when this guide was compiled. For information, contact American Society of Appraisers, 555 Herndon Pkwy. Suite 125, Herndon VA 20170; phone: (800)-ASA-VALU; World Wide Web: http://www.appraisers.org.
