The Lawrence University Archives promotes understanding of Lawrence and Milwaukee-Downer College history by collecting, preserving, and making accessible unique materials that document this history.
It is the official repository for University records of enduring value. In supporting the research needs of Lawrence students, faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the wider community, the Archives helps fulfill the teaching and learning mission of the University.
Teaching and outreach
The LU Archives supports creative teaching and learning by serving as a laboratory for classes working with primary research materials. Hands-on interaction with archival sources has many benefits for students. Faculty interested in having classes use the Archives are welcome to contact the archivist at any time. We have worked with courses in history, art history, film studies, musicology, anthropology, studio art, theatre arts, English, and other disciplines.
We are also more than happy to collaborate with other departments on campus, student groups, or local organizations on outreach activities such as exhibits, programs, or presentations.
