  • Wis. Agency Abbreviations
    GUIDE TO WISCONSIN STATE AGENCIES AND THEIR CALL NUMBERS Wisconsin Historical Society Library 816 State Street, Madison, Wisconsin 53706 Rev. to Oct. 2017 The Wisconsin State publications collection is arranged by agencies. A system of classification based on the federal Superintendent of Documents scheme was devised so that all of an agency's publications would be shelved together. This guide was produced to help you find an agency's publications. It also provides a history of agency changes in Wisconsin State government. This guide traces Wisconsin state agencies from the beginning of statehood to the present. The guide is divided into four sections. Part I is arranged alphabetically by the keyword of the agency (second column) and part II is alphabetical by call number (first column). The complete call number is not given, only the beginning alphabetical portion of the call number. Part III is a listing of subagencies with different call numbers than their parent agency. If you know the name of an agency look in Part I to find the call number In most cases everything from an agency is shelved under the call number of the major agency. There are exceptions to this. When an agency started out independently, but later became part of another agency it will still be found under its original call number. This is where Part III will prove useful. This alphabetical listing of major agencies, both past and present, with subagencies which have a different keyword classification is a reflection of an agency's history. One must remember that divisions of subagencies will have the same call number as the subagency.

The state park system properties contain 5,087 campsites, including sites currently being developed and 1,091 southern forest campsites, 1,420 acres of picnic areas and 32 properties with beaches totaling approximately 20 miles in length. The state recreation system also includes an extensive network of trails, some of which are open to multiple uses. This trail system, encompassing all state parks, recreation areas, forests and trails, includes: (a) 2,160 miles of hiking trails; (b) 1,964 miles of snowmobile trails; (c) 1,230 miles of bicycle trails, including 343 miles of mountain bike trails; (d) 524 miles of groomed cross-country ski trails; (e) 827 miles of horse trails; (f) 455 miles of all-terrain vehicle trails; and (g) approximately 90 miles of nature trails.
