St. Matthew's Episcopal Church
The records of St. Matthew's (before 1971) total three linear feet and date primarily from the mid-1920s. Although providing excellent documentation for the years since about 1927, the St. Matthew's series, except for an occasional program or brochure, does not include materials for the first eighty years of the church's existence. Happily, the collection contains published histories and commemorative programs, which help to fill in these missing years.
The St. Matthew's series has been divided into six subseries: Informational Files, Church Government, Pastors, Church Organizations, Publications, and Scrapbooks.
Informational Files
"Informational Files" consist of manuscript and printed histories written at various dates, commemorative programs, and newspaper clippings about church activities. Also included with this subseries are report documents that the church was required to submit to the state as a non-profit corporation, and to its denominational parent, the Diocese of Michigan.

Subject Files, 1965-1995
79 linear feet
Subject Files (79 linear feet; 1965-1995) include correspondence, memoranda, questionnaires and background material. The files are arranged chronologically by year, and then alphabetically by topic within each year. The original office filing systems have been maintained; files dating from 1965 to 1979 are listed by slightly idiosyncratic folder headings, while files dating from 1980 to 1995 are arranged using standardized subject headings, followed by more detailed subheadings. The subheadings are not used on this boxlist so that, for example, a folder listed as "Migrant Workers" in the first section of the subject files would be found under the "Labor" section of the post-1980 files.
Most of the constituent correspondence is arranged by topic, and major controversies of the time are well represented, including the Vietnam War, amnesty for draft dodgers, Watergate, economic issues and abortion. Examples of postcard campaigns and form letters have been kept, but the bulk of this type of correspondence was discarded.
Constituent correspondence regarding court enforced integration of public schools is listed as "Busing" in the chronological Subject Files from the early 1970s. However, the sheer volume of busing correspondence compelled Ford's staff to maintain separate "Busing" files as well, and these letters are stored out of chronological order in boxes 77 and 78. These files document what was perhaps the most vehemently debated issue in the Fifteenth District during Ford's tenure in congress.
