The University of Wisconsin System has some interesting and educational digital media collections that might make your face time with the Internet a lot more worthwhile. I was handed an information sheet about the collections some time back and, like so much, it kind of migrated to the bottom of my Deskpile. But just a little while ago, I got done taking a look at some of these collections and they are truly something of which we Wisconsinites can be proud.
I want to point out, before I give the links, that each one of these collections represents hundreds of thousands of work-hours put in by real people, mostly students and graduate assistants.
Main Alphabetical Index
The State of Wisconsin Collection
Subcollection: Our Area of the State
The History Collection
Be warned: some of the material in the collection is, by today's standards, wildly politically incorrect. Some of it hilariously so! Take a look at Elizabeth Hale Gilman's Things Girls Like to Do (1917). In that work we learn that girls like "dining-room and pantry work"! Tastes change, I guess.
The Mills Music Library--Sheetmusic, pictures, etc.
Enjoy and learn!
