Biographical History
The Wisconsin Institution for the Education for the Blind was established by citizens of Janesville in 1849 and incorporated as a state supported institution in 1850. The name was changed in 1885 to the Wisconsin School for the Blind, and in 1945 to the Wisconsin School for the Visually Handicapped. The school was administered through the state Board of Supervision (WIHV87-A1267) beginning in 1881, through the Board of Control (WIHV85-A2106), 1891-1937, and then through the Dept. of Public Instruction (WIHV86-A116), 1937-present. In the Wisconsin State Archives' database, this form of agency name is used for all records, 1849-present.
The school provides instruction to visually handicapped school-age children.
