The Recollection Wisconsin website is "a place to discover and share your Wisconsin story." The site includes over 127,000 historical resources from Wisconsin communities, including photos, postcards, maps, letters, diaries, books, and oral histories. It's not just a site for viewing digital resources; visitors are encouraged to contribute their own memories, images, knowledge, and thoughts. The entire program is sponsored by WiLS, with support from the Milwaukee Public Library and the Wisconsin Historical Society. In the Recently Added Collections area, visitors can learn about new high school yearbooks, the Senator William Proxmire Collection, and maps of the Badger State. In the "Share" area, visitors can add a story or a photo and help contribute to the state's collaborative history via their own personalized memories. Additionally, visitors can also search through the Tumblr to get a sense of what other people are contributing to the effort.
