This collection was received in, and is organized in, multiple parts. Additional materials have not been physically or intellectually arranged and interfiled, and researchers may need to consult more than one part of the collection to locate similar materials.

The main collection is organized alphabetically by subject and then chronologically. Accession 2022-015 maintains original order.

• UWM Archival Collection 65: Records, 1956-2020

The collection contains one additional accession.

• Accession 2022-015: Department Chair Records, 1980-2003

The Dept. of Physics was established in 1956 at the time of the merger between the Wisconsin State College, Milwaukee, and the University of Wisconsin Extension's Milwaukee Center when the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee was created.

The collection contains correspondence, meeting minutes, committee materials, brochures, degree proposals, planning documents, and research findings. The collection also includes information about Project 30, the Summer Institute in Physics, the Science Bag program, the Laboratory for Surface Studies, and the Physics Club of Milwaukee.
