Guiding Principles
Participation is open to all Wisconsin's cultural collections archives,
historical societies, libraries, museums and other organizations with
content to share.
Subject matter is interpreted broadly to include all aspects of Wisconsin
history, culture, government and industry.
While the intention is for content to be available at no cost and in the public domain, cost-based content from an institution may be included as long as it represents a small portion of the total collection.
For detailed information on how to become a Wisconsin Heritage Online institutional participant, see Wisconsin Heritage Online's wiki, wiheritage.pbwiki.com.
