Why do you assume they don't want the material to be found?
Only because I didn't see links to the materials from the various web pages. They seems to be documents that were stored on the site, maybe for specific people to access.
Those pages are linked to from our Local History Online page, which is the only way to find them. Since our pages are built mainly for the public and interested wanderers, if it not maximized for librarians. I balance that in that the site is fairly well known. I have presented a number of times in Wisconsin, did a talk table at PLA/Seattle, the site got Highsmith and MARS recognition and I mentioned it in my wildly popular book ;-).
I am the contact for the website and the digitization project.

Andy, well that's not how I found them! (Google linked me to one file, then a little "backtracking" led me to the others. I also do competitive intelligence, so the "routes" I take aren't always normal.) Thanks for pointing out what page they're listed on.
