Help us preserve campus history for future generations! The Archives actively collects materials that document all aspects of campus history from UW-Madison colleges, departments, faculty, research groups, student and staff organizations, alumni and other entities with a relationship to our campus.
We collect analog and born digital formats including photographs, audio and film/video formats, oral histories, maps, illustrations and art, and artifacts and ephemeral materials. Specifically, we are interested in collecting materials that document special events or campus traditions; student life and experiences on campus; faculty, administration and staff experiences and campus involvement. Items added to the Archives collections will be rehoused in the Archives and made available to the public for research.
Once collections are part of University Archives they become In Library Use Only. On occasion we will loan materials out temporarily and these requests are handled on a case by case basis, so please contact Archives staff. Anyone is able to request, access, and use our collections in our reading room which is located on the 4th floor of Steenbock Library.
