At CVM, interpretation begins with the search for themes that reveal the context of regional events and the nature of regional culture. The outcome of this process drives research and the development of exhibits, educational programs, publications, and media productions. The CVM collections lie at the heart of this humanities-based program. Although some items are unique or rare, their principal importance lies in their documented association with the people of the Chippewa Valley. |
| The CVM collections offer an unparalleled resource for understanding life in west central Wisconsin during the past two centuries. As a whole, they reflect the primary purpose of CVM: to discover, collect, preserve, and interpret the history and culture of the region. |  |
