UWM Libraries houses an incredible variety of primary source collections available to UWM researchers (and anyone). Find hours for the American Geographical Society Library, Archives, and Special Collections listed on the Libraries' hours page. Walk in visits to these units are OK, but appointments are strongly preferred because materials require special handling.
