About University Archives
The Area Research center at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, established in 1971, is a cooperative project of the State Historical Society and UW-Stout. It is part of a network, established by the Legislature in 1951, of fourteen such centers throughout Wisconsin and serves area residents by preserving historical materials related to Barron, Dunn and Pepin counties. The general public, genealogists, local history buffs, students and scholars are encouraged to use its collection which includes letters, diaries, local histories, maps and photographs; as well as county, township, school, and city records. The Center also serves as the University Archives for UW-Stout.
The University Archives was created to preserve historical records of the University of Wisconsin-Stout, to facilitate efficient records management of the records of various departments and offices on campus, and to serve historical and other research and scholarship. The bulk of the materials consists of historically valuable records of the various campus departments and offices. Personal papers of Stout faculty, students, and alumni also comprise the University Archives collection as well as the records of Stout organizations. An electronic database housed in the archives maintains folder level control. Many of the university's publications, including the student newspaper, may also be searched by subject or by names.
