Collection

The Jean Cujé Milwaukee Music Collection is a unique collection of music in all formats recorded by artists in the Milwaukee area, gathered through donations and purchased to serve the local community. Materials include compact discs, cassettes, phonodiscs, videos and related items. Music of all types is collected, including classical, jazz, folk, rock, etc., recorded by artists who have spent most of their careers living and performing in the Milwaukee area. The circulating collection is housed on open shelving on the second floor of the Raynor Library. ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵID holders may borrow items from the collection for a 5 day period. Persons with no current ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵaffiliation may request items by interlibrary loan through their local library.

Archival Collections also maintains a collection of recordings which do not circulate. Other archival materials include posters, band information, and miscellaneous publications. 

Jean Cujé

Named after and dedicated to the memory of Jean Cujé, a library cataloger who died in November 1992, the collection combines Jean's love of music with her career of providing people with educational and recreational materials through libraries. In addition to being a librarian, Jean also played the bassoon with such renowned groups as the American Ballet Theatre, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and others. She received a Bachelor of Music degree from Oberlin Conservatory of Music and a Master of Library Science from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Before joining the ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵ Memorial Library, she was a part time music teacher with the Milwaukee Public School System. Jean served the ÏòÈÕ¿ûÊÓƵcommunity as a librarian from 1979 to 1992.
