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 Part II listing by call number in most cases shows the chronological history of an agency providing the call number remained the same. The final section lists cutter numbers for Wisconsin counties, municipalities, and other geographical areas. These cutter numbers are useful in finding material that is located in our local government collection. Each unit of government is represented in the very first line of the call number, so that “WI” with nothing after it means a publication came from a Wisconsin state agency and may be found in our Wisconsin state government publications collection. “WI” with a letter and number combination following it on the same line indicates a local or county publication, with the letter and number combination indicating the place name. “WI-D 17” indicates Dane County, for example.
