Preserving and sharing historical records, rare books, and special printed materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Archives and Special Collections supports research, instruction, and scholarship at UWM and throughout southeastern Wisconsin through the preservation and sharing of historical records, rare books, and special printed materials.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Wisconsin Historical Society\u2019s Milwaukee Area Research Center, we also provide access to WHS\u2019s world-class historical collections from the convenience of our reading room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We welcome students, faculty, staff, and the general public to come consult our materials, and offer a variety of research and instruction services to UWM faculty, non-UWM faculty, K-12 teachers, and others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please make an appointment so that our staff can have your materials ready for you.<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
