Lisa's Story

"I've spent many hours on BadgerLink looking up history and genealogy."

I found out about this website when I went to my local university's archives to find out history about the home that I live in. I've spent many many hours on BadgerLink in the last few months looking up history and genealogy. So far my favorite resources are HeritageQuest Online and Access NewspaperARCHIVE. I actually just shared a link to Facebook to spread the word and let people know how great it is! So happy I found out about it and actually wish I had known about it earlier!

I am honestly so thrilled with the website and the free resources it offers. I just want to tell everyone I know so they can have the opportunity to research their genealogy, look up their relatives and/or find some history of their city in the newspaper archives, and whatever other research they want to do. There are still a lot more resources that I want to check out if I ever finish searching on HeritageQuest & the newspaper archives!
