Biography/History
The Encyclopedia of Milwaukee (EMKE) is a digital urban history encyclopedia created
and housed at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. It includes nearly 700
originally written entries, over 1,300 images, including fifty maps, and over 1,800

researchers, students, and the general public a first stop for their inquiries into
the history of the Greater Milwaukee area, as well as a jumping off point into the
broader fields of urban, labor, political, gender, sexuality, and global migration
history.
