UW-Milwaukee Post Newspaper
Since 1956, the UWM Post has served as UW-Milwaukee’s unofficial news outlet and a primary source of news about campus activities, the university administration, and the greater Milwaukee area. Published weekly and operated entirely by student staff, the Post printed its last issue in November 2012 and has published online exclusively since 2013. The digital collection represents an almost complete run of the Post; gaps in the digital collection reflect gaps in the physical collection housed in the UWM Archives.
