Support for Classrooms and Instruction

The UW Archives staff provides classroom instruction sessions upon request from faculty and instructors at UW-Madison. Additionally, we provide educational trainings and workshops covering several topics including (but not limited to): collection development resources, oral history best practices, records management, using primary sources and conducting research using archival collections. We have online modules to help you get started with understanding the UW Archives and the Oral History Program (see below). Contact us if you have questions or would like additional information.
