Administrative/Restriction Information
The unclassified personnel files in boxes 23-25, accession 1999-059, accession
2006-070, and accession 2021-016 are restricted in accordance with UWM Personnel
File Policy S-42. Access is regulated by Section III.A.2 and III.A.3.
There are no access restrictions on the rest of the collection, which is open to
all members of the public in accordance with state law.
The researcher assumes full responsibility for conforming with the laws of libel,
privacy, and copyright which may be involved in the use of this collection
(Wisconsin Statutes 19.21-19.39).
The provenance of the records is unclear. Many of the records in the collection
were created or compiled by the director and various members of the library
staff. It is not known if particular records were brought together by the
director or if they were separated from other files by library or archives
staff. The records, whatever their provenance, were placed together under the
library by the Archives Department staff sometime before 1989. When reprocessing
began in 1993, it was decided to leave the existing organization intact rather
than to possibly confuse the provenance even more. The library transferred
another accession (accession 1992-030) in April 1993. Several items from the
1993 Fromkin Lecture were added to the collection in February 1994. Boxes 26-27
(accession 1996-027) were added in March 1997. Accession 1996-040 was
