Without missing a beat the commentator replied that these are simply the best athletes in the world and this is what they do. While Create the Future: The Wisconsin Campaign is not quite the Tour de France, it has SUTTER PHOTOGRAPHERS Paul Collins and Wade Fetzer been an uphill climb and our wonderful volunteers have joined UW Foundation staff to travel many miles and spend countless hours in quest of a goal. initiatives.

  • Wisconsin Topic Ideas for National History Day Research
    Wisconsin Topic Ideas for National History Day Research General Topic Ideas for Students Interested in Exploring the History of Our State National History Day in Wisconsin Updated: Summer 2010 1 A Warning for All Researchers! What follows is a very GENERAL list of topic ideas for you to consider. This list is by no means complete or exhaustive of Wisconsin history. There are many, many more fantastic topics to consider! These topics are NOT THEME SPECIFIC. You will need to take a closer look at each potential topic and consider how it fits with the annual theme for NHD. This is a general list. All the topics listed in this book WILL NOT fit the annual theme. Selecting a topic from this list does not guarantee a WINNING PROJECT. Selecting a topic is just the first step. You will need to follow through with good research, a strong argument, and a clear presentation. Selecting a topic from this list isn’t the final step. Many of these topics need to be further NARROWED in order for them to be a suitable National History Day project. Why Choose a Wisconsin Topic? The National History Day program doesn’t have any requirements or give you any advantage in choosing a Wisconsin topic. Wisconsin history, however, is full of great ideas for your History Day project. It is easy to overlook the history right around us, but your National History Day project can help you to find these amazing local stories that helped shape your history! Armed with local resources and strong research, you can become an authority on your topic and your project could be more competitive than a topic that many other students across the state or nation could choose.

In the late 19th century, two such mastodons were unearthed in southwestern Wisconsin and were purchased for the UW Geology Museum’s permanent collection. Over the course of a century, one mastodon find became Wisconsin’s most famous fossil, while the other was virtually forgotten. In late 2015, this composite skeleton celebrated its 100th year of display in the Geology Museum, and Carrie Eaton unveiled some exciting discoveries regarding its history. Eaton will talk about the rediscovery of a historic specimen, new developments since the story broke, and why its extinction shouldn’t prevent us from learning to love the mastodon.
