The information in our online collections tours comes from an extensive database of more than 10,000 object records created and managed by the Milwaukee County Historical Society. Many of these records contain only basic information. New accessions are cataloged and described in the database, but the re-cataloging, imaging, and data entry of donations prior to 2007 requires additional funding.
