Note: Until such time CUW has a formal archives program, the CUW Archives Committee is managing the archives.

Access to Materials and Information:

Access to the CUW Archives collections is provided through finding aids describing the types of materials in the Archives. To view the finding aid, visit Rincker Memorial Library and ask the reference librarian on duty. All archival materials are in closed stacks meaning materials are brought to the researcher for use in the reading room after s/he signs a Reading Room Registration form (required once each fiscal year; this form is available from librarians in Rincker Memorial Library). The CUW Archives are located in CO 118; CUW is located at 12800 N Lake Shore Dr Mequon WI 53097-2402 - Map of CUW. Reading room hours are by appointment only.

If the archives does hold materials you wish to view, please contact Library Director Christian Himsel in Rincker Memorial Library to make an appointment. Researchers seeking genealogical information may wish to consult the Online Guide to Genealogical Collections in the Milwaukee Metropolitan Area www.uwm.edu/Library/arch/lcomm/.

Use of Materials:

The primary users of the CUW Archives collections are CUW faculty/staff, students, and alumni. All users need to sign a Reading Room Registration form (required once each fiscal year; this form is available from librarians in Rincker Memorial Library). All materials must be used in the reading room and may not be signed out with the exception of certain duplicate materials on a case-by-case basis only for CUW faculty/staff/students. If a CUW faculty/staff/student wishes to sign out an annual or certain other duplicate materials, please contact Library Director Christian Himsel in Rincker Memorial Library.

Many of the archives materials are unique and many are fragile. They must be handled with care. Smoking, eating, and drinking are prohibited when using the materials. Only pencils may be used to take notes; absolutely no marks may be made on materials. All bags and coats must be checked before using materials. Photocopying is available for ten cents per copy but can be permitted only when it will not damage the materials and is allowed by federal copyright law.
