The Wisconsin Institute for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb opened in Delavan in 1852, administered by a board of trustees. In 1885, the institution's name was changed to the Wisconsin School for the Deaf (chapter 56). The administrator of the school was also placed under the Board of Control (WIHV85-A2106) at this time. In 1937 the Legislature transferred the school's administration to the Dept. of Public Instruction (WIHV86-A116). In the Wisconsin State Archives' database this form of the agency name is used for all records, 1852-present.
