"Remember
When..." was a popular newspaper feature
of The Milwaukee Journal from 1963 through 1994. Published
in the Green Sheet section of the newspaper on a twice-weekly
basis until 1981 and weekly after that, the feature was prepared by Milwaukee
Public Library staff to highlight Milwaukee’s rich and colorful past
as preserved in the Historic Photo Collection of the library.
Library staff selected historic photos from the Local History Collection,
supplemented by favorite photos sent in by readers. Staff researched the
topic and wrote a brief description that furthered the readers’ appreciation
for Milwaukee’s heritage. This very popular series reminded some
readers of times gone by and provided others with a historic tour of Milwaukee
through the eyes of an earlier generation.
The feature made its debut in November 1963, and today the commentary itself
is a snapshot of a bygone era. Many descriptions refer to people, places,
buildings, and institutions that are only memories. Comments and suggestions
from our readers have always been an integral part of the "Remember
When" series.
Additional comments, corrections, or insights to these historic photos
are always welcome. Now a new generation can enjoy a selection of these
nostalgic snapshots of Milwaukee history that have entertained readers
for decades.
