The Wisconsin Historical Records Advisory Board and the Wisconsin Historical Society present the Governor's Archival Achievement Award annually to a library or historical records repository in recognition of outstanding contributions to records preservation.  The award will be presented by Dr. Ellsworth Brown, director of the Wisconsin Historical Society.

Marquette's Department of Special Collections and University Archives is recognized for developing a wide variety of outreach projects highlighting the University's important research collections; including extensive collections on Catholic schools and mission programs among Native Americans, Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker Movement, and the papers of J.R.R. Tolkien. 

The University Archives is also the official repository for Marquette University records.  Preserved in the Raynor Library, these and other collections have become more accessible to researchers through exhibits, public programs, thorough cataloging, and an extensive Web site.

The John P. Raynor, S.J., Library is located at 1355 W. Wisconsin Ave. Interested media should contact Anne Broeker in the Office of Marketing and Communication.
