Excerpt from Guide to the Manuscripts of the Wisconsin Historical Society Dr. Draper's respect and love for manuscripts have been shared by the staff of the Society since his day, and the state of Wisconsin, having become conscious of the value of bringing together the raw materials of her history, has furnished a fireproof building, ample equipment for preserving the manuscripts, and an adequate staff to make them available. The people of the state have cooperated by giving many important collections to the Society. This Guide shows what papers have been accumulated in more than ninety years. The Draper Manuscripts have not been included in the Guide since they are fully covered by the Descriptive List of Manuscripts published by the Society in 1906.

In the mid-nineteenth century the Wisconsin Historical Society's first director, Lyman C. Draper, gathered outstanding materials such as the Daniel Boone papers, which include Draper's interviews with Boone's son, and the papers of Revolutionary War hero George Rogers Clark. These two collections alone are of vast significance to frontier history before 1830, but the full collection comprises nearly five hundred volumes of records, including military and government records, interviews, Draper's own research notes, and rare personal letters. For scholars, genealogists, and local historians, the Draper papers offer a wealth of information on the social, economic, and cultural conditions experienced by our frontier forebears. The 180-page index lists thousands of names and is an indispensable guide for all who wish to use the collection, which is available in libraries across the country on microfilm.
