The Parkside Area Research Center (ARC) was opened in 1977 and operates in connection with the Wisconsin Historical Society. It is part of a network of fourteen Wisconsin centers which make local public records and historical manuscripts available to the public. By participating in this statewide network of ARCs, the Archives is able to provide access to the holdings of the Wisconsin Historical Society and other ARCs via the ARC transfer system.
University Records
It is the Archives' primary mission to document the history of UW-Parkside by preserving and making accessible the records of the university and its predecessor institutions. We acquire records from all levels of the university, including administrative and governance units; academic departments; athletic programs; and student organizations.
Local Manuscript Collection
In addition to its ARC holdings, the Archives Department also houses a variety of local and regional manuscript collections. These holdings include the Vincent F. Ruffolo Collection of Nash and AMC materials, the Irving Wallace collection, the National Association of College Learning Association records, and the records of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, among others.
Special Collections
The UW-Parkside’s Special Collections include a rich selection of Artists’ Books, small press publications and monographs published in or about Racine and Kenosha. It also contains first and rare editions as well as a number of signed editions.

Warren Fenn Bodurtha Gardner, almost 5, poses with empty Horlick's Malted Milk bottles as testament to the benefits of drinking Horlick's. Young Gardner's mother died shortly after he was born, and he couldn't tolerate pure cow's milk. His aunt and grandmothers fed him Horlick's, resulting in the healthy boy pictured here.
