The Wisconsin Digital Archives is a collaborative effort managed by the Wisconsin Reference and Loan Library. The purpose of the collection is to comply with 35.83 Wis. Stats., as amended by 1991 Wisconsin Act 285, which requires Wisconsin state agencies to provide copies of their publications, regardless of format, to the Wisconsin Reference and Loan Library for distribution to libraries through the Wisconsin Document Depository Program. The Wisconsin Document Depository Program collects and distributes state publications in print and electronic formats to Wisconsin libraries; preserves and makes available a record of major state government programs; and assures the availability of state publications for use by the public throughout Wisconsin now and in the future.

Collaborators include the Wisconsin Historical Society, the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Wisconsin State Law Library.
