ABSTRACT: Newspaper clippings, press releases, and subject files pertaining to the activities of the University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee (UWM) and its predecessors compiled or created by News Services and Publications. The newspaper clippings provide a chronological record of University information found primarily in local papers in two periods: from 1943-1987 and from 1992-2000. The early years of these clippings appear to have been compiled by the University of Wisconsin Extension. 

The press releases, also arranged chronologically, document the activities of the University from 1949-1988 and were produced by News Services and Publications. There are subject and chronological indexes to the press releases for 1949-1971. 

The subject files document press coverage and some university communications regarding such topics as UWM buildings, student protests, symbols and mascots, administrative changes, major student activities, minority student groups and East Side/UWM relations. A small amount of correspondence and committee files generated by the News Services and Publications documents its internal workings as well as the production of UWM Magazine.

However, the researcher 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 19.21-19.39).

ARRANGEMENT: The files are organized alphabetically by personal name, name of office, or by subject, then chronologically.

ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY: The Milwaukee State Teachers College's Publicity Department became the News Bureau by 1952 and the News Services Office in 1953. After the creation of the University of Wisconsin--Milwaukee, the Office of News Services was created in 1957 and later placed under the authority of the Assistant Chancellor of University Relations. It was called News Service (1957-1970), News and Publications (1971-1977), Office of News Services (1978-1986), News Services and Publications (1987-1999) and University Communications and Media Relations (2000-. The office's main responsibility was to document UWM's public image and create press releases.
