Terms and Conditions

Thank you for agreeing to submit an item to the COVID-19 MKE project. Your submission will help document Milwaukee's place in this extraordinary time. 

This project is supported and housed by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries and follows their "Gift in Kind" policy for all submissions to the COVID-19 MKE project. The Libraries add materials which support UWM’s mission of instruction, research, and community service, and which are in good condition and of continuing academic value. Items not needed by the UWM Libraries may be disposed of through exchange, donation or other means as provided under applicable State of Wisconsin regulations. The Libraries unfortunately do not have the resources to prepare detailed inventories of gifts and, by law, the Libraries can assume no responsibility for estimating the value of gifts in kind.

By agreeing to the Terms and Conditions on the site, you agree to the following

Donor’s Statement of Gift in Kind

I, Donor, voluntarily donate the Materials described below, on the date stated, to the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System on behalf of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries ("UWM Libraries"), upon the following terms:

  1. I own the Materials and have the right to donate them to the UWM Libraries.
  2. It is understood that the purpose and intent of this gift is to transfer and assign all rights, title and interest that I may possess to these Materials to the UWM Libraries, unless specified otherwise.
  3. The UWM Libraries may use its discretion to dispose of Material inappropriate for its collections, unless instructions to return unwanted Materials are stated below.
  4. I hereby affirm that, to the best of my knowledge, the Materials may be made freely available for inspection and use by faculty and staff, students, and members of the general public, and that no part of the Materials is confidential under law or agreement with any third party, except as designated below, if applicable.
