William J. Meuer Photoart Collection

April 1, 2012

The William J. Meuer Photoart Collection is an outstanding visual history of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and its surrounding community, and contains some really fun images. The Meuer Photoart House opened on State Street in 1916. Dating from 1888 to 1935, 25 large bound albums contain nearly 27,000 individual prints. Eight volumes are currently available, and we are in the process of digitizing the rest.
