The Files of Jon Fitzgerald, Executive Director of MIFA series, 1954-2002 (2 linear feet), details programs and projects associated with MIFA. Two significant programs, the Michigan Speech Coaches Association (MSCA) and the Michigan Future Problem Solvers, are well documented with meeting notes, correspondence, practice problems, and conference materials. Additionally, Fitzgerald's records augment existing Michigan Speech Association (MSA) files with early conference records (1974-1979), example panels, and services. Fitzgerald's interest in speech, both at the high school and collegiate levels, are documented through this series with records from the Bureau of School Services and University of Michigan School of Education. Finally, Fitzgerald's records hold a series of pamphlets produced by MIFA-associated organizations, offering insight into collaborations across the field.
