Why Public Records Matter
Public records are the foundation of an open and transparent society. They allow citizens to hold government accountable, support legal and business decisions, assist in genealogical research, and help individuals access information that directly affects their lives.
In Wisconsin, the Open Records Law reflects a strong commitment to government transparency. The law presumes that all government records are open to the public unless a specific legal exemption applies. At MarinetteRecords.us, we believe that every person deserves to understand and exercise their rights under this law — and we are here to help make that possible.
