The newspaper clippings provide a chronological record of UW-Milwaukee information found
primarily in local papers dating from 1943-1987 and 1992-2001. The early years of these
clippings appear to have been compiled by the University of Wisconsin Extension.
The press releases, also arranged chronologically, document the activities of the
University from 1949-1988, 1997-1998, and 2001-2008, and were produced by News Services and
Publications. There are subject and chronological indexes to the press releases for
1949-1971. Between the years 1997-2008, press releases were maintained electronically and
are available for access in the Archives Department. The images created to accompany these
electronic press releases are also available.
The subject files document press coverage and some university communications regarding such
topics as UWM buildings, student protests, symbols and mascots, administrative changes,
major student activities, minority student groups, and East Side/UWM relations. A small
amount of correspondence and committee files generated by the News Services and Publications
documents its internal workings as well as the production of UWM Magazine.
