Google to place Wisconsin history online

Madison, Wis. – The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s partnership with Google to digitize hundreds of thousands of volumes in campus libraries could make one of the best historical collections in the nation available to Internet users.

In the coming months, the popular search engine company, in collaboration with the university and the Wisconsin Historical Society, will make books and rare documents currently available only on shelves and in archives freely accessible through Google Book Search.
