The University of Wisconsin-Madison Archives was founded in 1951 with the mandate to preserve University records, records management services and serve as an educational resource promoting the University. The repository also serves as the official repository of the UW-Extension and UW-Colleges systems. There are four main sections of the archives: the Archives proper, the Records Management Service, the Iconography section, and the Oral History Program. The UW Archives is part of the General Library System, and as such collaborates with UW Digital Collections to make collections available on-line.
Collections
The UW-Archives houses collections related to the history of the University, covering topics such as academics, athletics, and student life. Several university publications, including the Badger Yearbook and Wisconsin Alumni Magazine, are available in full-text through UW Digital Collections.
The UW-Records Management Service establishes the records retention schedules for the University administration. The Service maintains records liaisons with the academic departments to ease the process of records collection. Records are preserved by the service for legal, financial, historical and administrative purposes.
The Iconography section houses visual materials related to the University. Particularly significant are the photograph collections of the Daily Cardinal, and the Badger Yearbook. Popular photo collections include the UW-Madison Chancellors, UW-Madison Athletics, the Wisconsin Union, and Madison Protests. The total image collection is more than 2,500,000 images. Many images are available on-line through UW Digital Collections.
The Oral History Program began in 1972 and has collected over 800 interviews to date. The bulk of the interviews concern academic staff and the events of their tenure at the University. About one third of interviews were taken as parts of special projects covering topics such as the UW Merger, the Arboretum, and the Teaching Assistants Strike of 1970. Current projects include interviews of the UW-Forest Products Lab and the Madison LGBT community.

And special recognition should be given to Nancy Kunde, CA, CRM for her efforts to build and support the profession and the institution.
ReplyDeleteNancy has been a staunch supporter of Archives practices and principles in her tenure at UW, which is in part demonstrated by her commitment to the ARMA Standards Development Committee over the past decade, and her involvement with SAA as the Chair of their Standards Program in recent years.
In addition, Nancy personally secured an NHPRC Grant for the production of an ANSI/ARMA Standard, ANSI/ARMA 16-2007, "The Digital Records Conversion Process: Program Planning, Requirements, Procedures" which is presently under consideration for adoption as an ISO Standard.
Without the tireless work of individuals like this, an institution would have no opportunity to flourish.
Congratulations, Badger Archive!
