About this title

Synopsis

Discover the moments that opened a landmark for Wisconsin’s history, culture, and learning.

This book chronicles the dedication ceremonies of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin’s new building, held on October 19, 1900. It presents the program, the speakers, and the musical performances that framed the moment, along with a description of the building and its libraries. Rich in architectural and institutional detail, it also offers context about the society’s mission and its place in Wisconsin’s educational landscape.

Inside, you’ll find references to the architects Ferry & Clas, the Board of Building Commissioners, and the many departments that call the new space home. The volume blends ceremonial record with practical notes on rooms, functions, and the layout of both the reading rooms and museum spaces, capturing a pivotal moment in the society’s history.

A detailed program of speeches, hymns, and tributes from leaders and fellow societies.
Architectural and construction details that shaped the building’s design and purpose.
Descriptions of interior and exterior views, rooms, and museum spaces.
Historical context tying the dedication to Wisconsin’s broader educational and cultural growth.

Ideal for readers interested in state history, archival institutions, and early 20th‑century library architecture.
