History
The Wisconsin Historical Society began a network of these centers in 1962, starting with locations in River Falls and Eau Claire. They were meant to bring history closer to the people, as sort of a grass roots mission. Each ARC specializes in a particular area of the state. The ARC at River Falls collects materials that document Northwestern Wisconsin and the St. Croix River Valley, which includes the counties of Burnett, Pierce, Polk, and St. Croix.
As part of the Area Research Center Network, each participating institution has the ability to transfer, most collections to another ARC. Reach out to your local ARC to learn more. https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Article/CS4000
