About the Collection
The Marinette County Library System maintains many resources that provide local historical information. Yearbooks and plat books are extraordinarily popular and receive so much use that they need to be preserved. For this reason the library decided to preserve this material in a digital format. This project contains plat books from the years 1905, 1912, and 1920 and yearbooks from 1919-1924. Our ultimate goal is to digitize as much as our collection as possible to keep this information intact for future generations.

Technical Note
Please note that full-text searching for the electronic-facsimile texts in our collections is based on uncorrected OCR (Optical Character Recognition) results. While such text is often highly accurate, it will contain errors that may affect your search results. In particular, texts with the following characteristics are particularly prone to error (in some cases, accuracy for such texts is so low that we have decided not to attempt to provide full-text searching):
- Hand-written texts;
- Texts that contain diacritics;
- Texts that contain non-Latin scripts;
- Texts that contain obsolete characters (including the "long S" [looks like an "f"]);
- Texts that are printed in a font in which the letters are difficult for the software to differentiate.
Funding
The Marinette County Local History Collection is collaborative project completed by the UWDCC and the Marinette County Library System.
The Marinette County Local History Collection was funded, in part, through a 2009 Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant. This grant provided financial support for public libraries to digitize and make available online, their local library resources. For more information about LSTA grants in Wisconsin, contact the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) Division for Libraries, Technology, and Community Learning or visit the LSTA grant Web site at http://www.dpi.state.wi.us/dpi/dltcl/pld/lsta.html.
