Historical Information
Much historical information can be obtained in books retrieved through the UW-Stout Library catalog. If you know dates of key events, consult older paper issues of indexes to obtain periodical articles that were written at the time of the event. In addition, yearbooks serve to document the noteworthy events of a given year and can help you trace the progress of new technology.
