Networking
The Dane County Historical Society established a Networking Committee in 2006, to help the Society better understand the variety of programs offered by the historical societies in Dane County.
Twenty-two area historical societies participate in the Wisconsin Council for Local History and are affiliated with the Wisconsin Historical Society. These affiliations enable local societies to participate and share on a regional and statewide basis. Yet, there had traditionally been little formal interaction or communication among the organizations right here in Dane County.
The Dane County Historical Society Board of Directors saw an opportunity to communicate and collaborate with other area societies on projects of mutual interest. In coordinating and cooperating with other area societies, DCHS is fulfilling one of its primary functions, as laid out in its Bylaws: “Encourage the work of local historical societies and other organizations concerned with Dane County history to provide appropriate coordination of effort.”
