British Interest Group of Wisconsin and Illinois
BIGWILL has accumulated a small library of books and newsletters, primarily intended for the use of its members. Some of the books have been purchased by BIGWILL, while most of the books have been donated by members. The society exchanges newsletters with several societies, especially those with a common interest in British Isles genealogy; the newsletters we receive via exchange are also part of this library. Until recently, this collection of books and newsletters has been kept in the Nippersink Library in Richmond; the books were included in the online catalog of that library. Owing to scarce resources, the Nippersink Library found it necessary to ask BIGWILL to remove its collection from their facility; the material is now being warehoused in a temporary location while the society looks for a new home and hopefully a way to make this material more easily available to its members. So that the membership can have a better sense of what books the society holds, we are posting a list of those books. This list has been used up until now mostly for our own record keeping; it probably has some errors of various sorts, but even in this unpolished state it should serve to give a picture of what we own. Click here to view a PDF file containing this list. Note that none of the newsletters we hold are included in this list yet.BIGWILL is looking for a volunteer to oversee and manage this library collection. If you think you might be interested in helping BIGWILL and its members in this way, please contact Peg Gleich (BIGWILL president) or Susan Sincere (former BIGWILL librarian).
