The photos
were donated to the library by many different means. Some are family
photos from individual donors, others came from various city departments
including the Municipal Reference Bureau and the Milwaukee Fire Department,
and still others were donated to the library by various businesses and
corporations.
If you have questions about the Milwaukee Historic Photos, or would
like to view photographs from the collection that are not yet available,
please contact the Frank P. Zeidler Humanities Department at the Central
Library. While materials may not be removed from the Humanities Department,
reproductions may be available. Contact Humanities at (414) 286-3061
if you have questions.

Copies of the images in this collection may be purchased. Orders
must be placed online, using the online

CD as 300 dpi TIFs. Due to the large size of each of the files,
we offer CD-Rom but not e-mail delivery of images. The cost is $10 per
image, plus tax for Wisconsin residents (shipping of CD via standard
mail is included). You will be billed approximately one month after
delivery of your order, and may pay by personal check or money order. Turnaround
time is five business days, with rush service available for an extra
fee. [Rush charges are 20% of order total from in-state requesters, 50%
of order total from out-of-state requesters. Calculated after tax.]
