University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee. Buildings blueprint collection, 1903-1985.

UWM Archival Collection 50

105 technical drawings: Blueprints

ABSTRACT: The collection contains blueprints of University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee (UWM) and University Extension buildings and other structures, most dating from the 1960s through the 1970s. The blueprints were acquired from a variety of sources, and are use copies, not the official records of any UWM office. It is not known if the blueprints are the final use copy, or earlier renditions in the design process. The blueprints, which average about 2' x 3' in size, contain details on floor plans, elevations, sections and site plans. The number of sheets per roll vary from 1 to 89, averaging about 25 sheets.

ACCESS RESTRICTIONS: There are no access restrictions on the remainder of the collection which is open to all members of the public in accordance with state law. The researcher, however, assumes full responsibility for conforming with the laws of libel, privacy, and copyright which may be involved in the use of this collection (Wisconsin Statutes).

UNAVAILABLE BLUEPRINTS: The Archives does not have any blueprints for the following buildings:

Albert Hall
Chancellor's Residence
Downtown North (Extension-Downtown North)
Field Station Laboratory Building (Saukville)
Heating Plant
Kenilworth Building
Mall
McLaren Hall
Pearse Field and Stadium
Power Plant
Purin Hall
Residence East
Residence West
Shepard House

ARRANGEMENT: For ease of use, the blueprints are organized into "rolls." An individual building may have several rolls of blueprints. The finding aid lists the buildings alphabetically by name, then provides details on the contents of individual roles, including date of creation, roll number, and number of sheets per roll.

Throughout the finding aid, there are cross references between building names. For example:

Baker Fieldhouse [SEE ALSO: General Remodeling]

Campus Elementary School [SEE ALSO: Kunkle Center]

The "SEE ALSO" reference refers to related blueprints elsewhere in the collection. The "SEE" reference provides the blueprint heading to examine.

COPYING OF BLUEPRINTS: The blueprints may be photocopied with the assistance of the Archives' staff, and they may also be traced.

COLLECTION CITATION: This collection should be cited as:

University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee Buildings blueprint collection, 1903-1985. UWM Archival Collection 50. University Archives. UWM Libraries. University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee.

ACQUISITION: The blueprints were transferred to the Archives by numerous administrators prior to 1989.

PROCESSING: Sandy Bartell processed the collection at the Archives in September-December 1993. In 2005, drawings related to structural, heating and ventilation, plumbing and electrical were removed from the collection and returned to the UWM Physical Plant Services.
