- Detailed listing of the University of Idaho's WI&M archive in their special collections section, accompanied by a brief history of the line. The business records of the WI&M were donated to the Latah County Historical Society in 1981 by the company. Through a cooperative agreement between the Historical Society and the University of Idaho, they are now housed in the University Library. The material contains a complete record of the railway from the 1903 engineer's report on possible routes, to 1962 when ownership of the WI&M passed to the Milwaukee Land Company. Material for the years after 1950 is, however, indicated to be sparse. According to this summary, the donated material includes general correspondence, tariffs (both passenger and freight), express contracts, mail contracts, agreements with highway and utility departments, leases, agency transfer records, labor agreements with employees agreements with other railroads, and tax and insurance records, financial ledgers and journals, vouchers, annual reports to the Interstate Commerce Commission and utilities and tax commissions in Idaho and Washington, appraisals and valuation reports, employee records including time cards and cancelled pay roll checks, and a collection of maps and blueprints.
