Special Collections and Projects

Unique manuscripts, books, music, art and other highly regarded materials support not only student and faculty research but are also available to interested community members and visiting scholars.

Your gift supports the maintenance of collections and campus projects such as:

• The Frederick G. and Joan Christopherson Schmidt Robert Frost Collection

These rare collections provide Blugolds with hands-on experience in research and curation, cultural appreciation, access to one-of-a-kind resources and a glimpse into the historical past of our region and country.

There are many ways to support special collections and projects at UW-Eau Claire; from planned gifts to endowments, gifts-in-kind, IRA rollovers, securities and stocks, annual pledges and more. Your generosity supports excellence in UW-Eau Claire teaching and research now, and for generations to come.

"The books will be used and appreciated and studied. Not for how well the words fit or how well the meter is, but for the true meaning of the involvement with nature that was so important to Fritz and Frost." —Joan Christopherson Schmidt
