Researching our collections

To ask a research question or request an appointment email archives@uwstout.edu.

  • For appointments, you will receive a confirmation from an archives staff member when your appointment is confirmed. Please provide the archives with at least 24 hours of lead time to prepare for your appointment. Same day appointments submitted by email will rarely be confirmed, and we are not open for walk-in appointments. Appointments will be confirmed during the Archives hours.
  • You do not need to make an appointment to request information from our collections or to ask a research related question. In fact, our staff are able to answer most research questions without a in-person research appointment. 
  • For research requests and appointments, please provide us with as much detail as possible. This will help us find the most relevant resources for you and your research.
