Education and Student Life

UW-La Crosse Student Handbooks Collection

Student handbooks from the Wisconsin State Normal School and State Teachers College (precursors to UW-La Crosse) from the 1920s through the 1960s, featuring campus organizations, activities, procedures, regulations, maps and other campus and community information.

UW-Madison Collection

UW-Madison Collection

Books, manuscripts, photographs and other resources documenting the history of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Sub-collections and themes include yearbooks, student handbooks, class albums and student scrapbooks; the Badger Bites cookbook collection; Campus Voices oral history collections, campus humor publications; Wisconsin Alumni Magazine; Hoofers Club; Athletic Department; Multicultural Student Center and the Mildred Fish Harnack Collection.

UW-Milwaukee Latino Activism

This collection includes photographs, documents, newspaper articles and video documenting efforts during the 1970-71 academic year to improve conditions for the Latino community at UW-Milwaukee. In November 1970, UWM opened its Spanish Speaking Outreach Institute, a forerunner of today’s Roberto Hernandez Center.

UW-Milwaukee Photo Collection

To commemorate UWM’s 50th anniversary, the UWM Libraries prepared a digital collection of photographs documenting the history of the university and its predecessor institutions, the Wisconsin State College of Milwaukee (formerly the Milwaukee State Teachers College) and the University of Wisconsin Extension Center at Milwaukee.

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.

UW-Milwaukee Yearbook Collection

UWM’s yearbook, The Ivy, was named for the ivy-clad campus buildings, which symbolized a tradition of knowledge and learning. The yearbook was published from 1942 to 1968. No volumes appeared in 1960 and 1961.
