There are no access restrictions on the materials, and the collection 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 collection originally consisted of two small series transferred to the Archives prior
to 1989. The department transferred additional materials to the Archives in June 2013
(accession 2012-056) and August 2014 (accession 2014-014).
Web crawling is managed through the Internet Archive's Archive-It services. This series
includes links to both the university's collection and the Internet Archive's public
collection. Web records from UWM are collected on a semi-annual basis. Crawls of the UWM
Website may be performed at more frequent intervals in cases of major events, significant
additions or changes to the UWM Website or the websites of schools and colleges, etc.
Social Media feeds are crawled on an as-requested basis.
Christel T. Maass reprocessed the collection at the Archives in October 1993. Christel
Maass updated the finding aid to include information about accession 2012-056 in September
2013 and information about accession 2014-014 in August 2014. Brad Houston and Claire
Dinkelman updated the finding aid in April and July 2017 to include information on the Web
Series.
The records in the Web Archives Series were collected by the Internet Archive’s Wayback
Machine and Archive-It Web Harvesting tools.
