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.
Education and Student Life
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.
UW-Parkside Ranger News
The Ranger News is the University of Wisconsin-Parkside’s student-run newspaper.
Winnebago County Rural Schools
Photographs of school buildings from across Winnebago County.

Women of Edgewood University
This collection highlights several Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters who led and shaped Edgewood University in Madison, Wisconsin. Materials include video oral history interviews and portrait photographs of each Sister as well as some published biographies.
