The Milwaukee Municipal Research Center Digital Archive is, along with the MRC’s Recollection Wisconsin partnership, intended as both repository and showcase of significant or often requested records from the three units of the Municipal Research Center: City Records, Municipal Research Library, and Historic Preservation Commission.
