Records of the UW-Milwaukee Department of History which
documents the correspondence of various chairs, the functions of committees, and the minutes
of general departmental meetings. Of particular interest is the 1988 Department of History Directory, which contains biographical information on past
and present faculty and administrative assistants, lists of chairpersons for the important
committees, and a brief history of the department. UWM Chancellor Werner Baum and Mayor
Henry Maier initiated The Goals for Greater Milwaukee 2000 (1982) project to analyze the
contemporary and future strengths and problems of Milwaukee. The collection contains the
project's correspondence, publicity file, and eleven oral history interviews. Urbanism Past & Present (1973-1986) was a periodical sponsored
by the Department of History, which ceased in 1985. Included are issues (1975-1984) as well
as a file on the founding, history, mission, meetings, and editorial decisions of the
journal.
