The Wisconsin Domesday Book PDF Download

Excerpt from The Wisconsin Domesday Book: Reprinted From the Wisconsin Magazine of History, Volume IV, Number 1, September, 1920 Another feature of our preparation for the future great history must be the preparation and publication of a large number of monographs on special topics, the general aim being to digest and interpret masses of material. The work of collecting materials systematically in many lines such as phases of religious history, industrial history, agricultural history, educational history, biography, will involve a thorough study of particular institutions, men, and move ments. The number and variety of the topics to be treated are large and as varied as are the elements entering into the complex of our civilization. Some of the monographic work ought to be done by members of the Society scattered over the state, and they would need the encouragement which always comes to a worker from the expectation that his results will be published. Some of it will naturally be done by University students in history. In their cases, also, a readiness on the part of the Society to publish accepta ble papers will prove a great stimulus. Much of it will need to be done by specially trained investigators attached to the staff. Publication activity must be kept abreast of production.
