This timeline is a project of the Department of History, for which the Faculty Council and then-chair Laird Boswell provided essential support. The initial draft was largely the work of Professor emerita Colleen Dunlavy, historian of capitalism who also taught Digital History.
The Wisconsin Historical Society, with which our department has enjoyed close, fruitful relations for more than a century, has kindly given us permission to link to images in its collections.
If you have comments or suggestions, please send them along to the History Department at historydept@history.wisc.edu.
