The HABS/HAER files generally include copies of the report and photographic prints, but no negatives. Neither of the Wisconsin surveys is complete and the majority of the documentation pertains to reports filed after the creation of the Historic Preservation Division in 1976. For this period, the HAER documentation of Wisconsin bridges and railroad buildings is most complete.
The non-HABS/HAER files consist of documentary photographs and original negatives. Accompanying paper documentation varies; some files include measured drawings made before destruction and photographic copies of original plans. Many files have no supporting paper documentation. Most non-HABS/HAER files relate to bridges that were replaced by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. In addition, this category includes historic building surveys of the Prairie du Chien and Soldiers Grove flood plains prepared for the U.S. Corps of Engineers and several National Register applications that appear not to have been threatened properties. Well documented bridges include the Prescott Bridge, the McGilvray Road Bridges in La Crosse, and the Lake Park Bridges in Milwaukee. The construction of the North Avenue Viaduct, also in Milwaukee, is represented by historic photographs. Also of note is coverage of the Portage Canal and the Fox River Waterway, machinery in the Fisher-Fallgatter Mill in Waupaca, color slides of the original interior of Holy Trinity-Our Lady of Guadalupe Roman Catholic Church in Milwaukee, the Phillips Concrete Park, Olin Terrace in Madison (the site of Monona Terrace), and several railroad buildings.
The images are separately numbered within each folder. They are listed by case number, project name, location, and property type in the appendix below.
Additional records still in division custody consist of project descriptions, maps, plans, and the Historic Preservation Division's review comments and recommendations concerning needed actions. Building plans and specifications, facilities master plans, environmental assessments, and draft and final Environmental Impact Statements may also be present.
