Or, at least part of it. In Baraboo, of Sauk Co, Wisc, they finally microfilmed their old books. I don't know their method of disposing of the old books but I do know that they ended up with a local historical group. That method would be the key to this problem. Another problem created in the process; the microfilm isn't kept in Baraboo. I now have to travel an additional 75 miles to Madison, WI for viewing those records. John P.S.
