Ask an Archives Question

Archives & Local History reference via e-mail is a service of the La Crosse Public Library Information Services Department.  We will attempt to answer questions received via e-mail within the same guidelines that we apply to the questions received from walk-in and telephone customers.   Priority will be given to residents of the Winding River Library System area (Buffalo, Juneau, Jackson, La Crosse, Monroe Trempealeau and Vernon counties).  If you reside elsewhere, please contact your local public library for assistance.  Send your general questions to Reference.

Type of questions answered:
This service is best used for short-answer questions that library staff can quickly answer without a considerable amount of research.  We can provide answers to many questions or suggest sources or locations which might help you find the information you need.

Please limit your questions to genealogy and/or La Crosse area local history. Time does not allow us to answer requests like "Please send me everything on the ANDERSON family who lived in La Crosse in the 1800s."

Helpful information to include: full name(s) with variant spellings, dates or time periods, and residence of the ancestor(s) you're seeking.

Your question:
Please tell us your question clearly and completely.  The more you tell us, the better our answer will be.  What sources have you already checked?

Response Time:
We will respond within 24 hours Monday through Friday.  If you need faster service, please call the Archives Desk at (608) 789-7136 during open hours.

Method of Response:
We may respond via e-mail, phone, fax or mail.  Please give at least two ways of contacting you.  This is a confidential service. *Required Fields
