Established in 1976, the McIntyre Library Special Collections & Archives at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire provides access to university records, public records, and manuscripts documenting the history of the Chippewa River Valley. The repository participates in the Wisconsin Historical Society's Area Research Center Network, which allows archives users to borrow manuscript collections from the Wisconsin Historical Society for use in the repository’s local reading room.

Collection:
The repository’s collections are particularly strong in historical material pertaining to social organizations, business, and education in the Chippewa Valley. As a member of the Area Research Network, the repository provides access to public records from Buffalo, Chippewa, Clark, Eau Claire, Rusk, and Taylor Counties. There is also a regional map and atlas collection, the photographic archives of the university, and a small rare book collection that specializes in first edition British and American fiction. McIntyre Library’s Special Collections and Archives department also houses a collection of local history publications, including church and organization histories, city directories, county and city histories, and a variety of reference books.
