The Wisconsin Historical Society Speakers Bureau offers an exciting opportunity for our historians, curators and authors to visit your community and share the stories of our great state.

Ready to take a trip to the Wisconsin Historical Society (WHS)? WHS holds one of the top five genealogical collections in the country, with materials from across the United States and Canada. Discover more about our extensive newspaper and family history collections, learn how to search our catalog and website to find materials on your family, and get details on how to plan for your visit. Even if you can’t make it to Wisconsin, you’ll find out how to get access to our collections so you can keep researching your ancestry!

Rebecca Hopman (she/her) is the Genealogy Services Librarian at the Wisconsin Historical Society Library. She gives presentations on the basics of genealogy research, conducting oral histories, and an introduction to the genealogy collections at the WHS Library and Archives.
