The Wisconsin Historical Society uses RSS feeds to notify the public of new materials added to their collection, and news of what's going on with their organization:

Probably the only historical/genealogical society I've seen that has actually put RSS into good use.

When the link to the opml file is clicked upon in Firefox it opens a new tab but does not download the file as is the ususal action with most files. If this page is saved and then SAGE a Firefox newsreader is asked to import it the report is that this is not an opml file. So the question is, does this link require some special handeling?

Dick Eastman

I suspect that action is unique to SAGE. It worked OK for me in Firefox for Windows. I saved it to disk and then later imported it with a different RSS newsreader.
