Chancellor
UWM Archival Collection 46
186 cubic ft. (186 boxes); 2 film
reels
The chancellor is the chief administrative officer for the
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) campus, and the collection documents the
chancellor's responsibility for overseeing UWM's administrative offices, centers, colleges,
and schools. The records concern topics such as accreditation, general policy issues,
funding, new courses, organizational structure, plans for expansion, staffing, and other
administrative affairs. The collection contains records from Chancellors J. Martin Klotsche
(1956-1973); Werner Baum (1973-1979); Frank Horton (1980-1985); Clifford Smith (1986-1990);
John Schroeder (1990-1998); Nancy Zimpher (1998-2003); and Acting Chancellors Leon Schur
(1979-1980) and Norma Rees (1985-1986). The few records predating UWM's founding in 1956
were created or compiled by Dr. Klotsche and consist largely of faculty memoranda and
miscellaneous subject files from his tenure as president of the Wisconsin State College,
Milwaukee.
The files contain copies of correspondence, reports, and background
materials either created by the chancellors or sent to them by other offices. The files also
contain agendas, minutes, and supporting materials from departmental and college or school
standing or ad hoc committees. In many cases, correspondence between the chancellor and the
deans or department heads found in the respective files also provides useful
documentation.
The UWM units best documented in the collection include: Academic
Affairs; Administrative Affairs; Athletics; the Center for Great Lakes Studies; College of
Engineering and Applied Science; College of Letters & Science; Golda Meir Library;
Graduate School; School of Allied Health Professions; School of Architecture and Urban
Planning; School of Business Administration; School of Education; School of Fine Arts;
School of Library and Information Science; School of Nursing; and School of Social
Welfare.
