Location

The Area Research Center, Special Collections, and University Archives are located on the main level of the University Library, which is in the Andersen Library building. Andersen Library is located at 800 West Main Street in Whitewater.
The Andersen Library building is somewhat complicated because the University Library is not the only entity in the building and there are building entrances on two levels. Building entrances are numbered. The best entrances to use to reach the University Library are number 3 on the east side of the building (then go up the stairs or use the elevator to get to the University Library entrance) or number 12 on the west side of the building, which is on the same level as the University Library entrance.
