Lawrence University Archives

This database contains descriptions of collections held by the Lawrence University Archives, including non-current University records, faculty and alumni papers, and other manuscript materials, related to both Lawrence and Milwaukee-Downer College. Materials are available for use during the Archives’ open hours.

The site is a work in progress; not all of our holdings are yet represented here. If you have questions about our collections, please contact us at archives@lawrence.edu or (920) 832-6753.
