The collection originally consisted of five series of faculty minutes, correspondence,
and subject files acquired before 1989. The department transferred additional materials to
the Archives in October 2012 (accession 2012-026).
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.
Sandra J. Bartell reprocessed the collection at the Archives in August-September 1993.

from accession 2015-009 to this collection. 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.
