Wisconsin Blue Books now online

The complete text of every Wisconsin Blue Book is now online and searchable, thanks to a project by the University of Wisconsin Digital Collections Center, with the support of the Legislative Reference Bureau and funding provided by the UW System.

The State of Wisconsin Blue Book is the primary one-volume reference source about the state, documenting the organization of the state's three branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial). Typically, each volume also includes extensive description and statistics on virtually all aspects of life in Wisconsin, including major sections on the state's population, geography, history, election data, educational resources, social services, finance, agriculture, industry, and transportation system. Various useful lists are also provided, such as of statewide associations, news media, local governmental units, post offices, and political parties.
