The Administrative Files, 1982-2008 series (0.5 linear feet) contains general administrative files generated by the office and its executive director. Included in this is an organizational history file that contains valuable information about the office's history and its relationships with other university units. This series also contains annual reports, memos, correspondence, and end of term reports that provide valuable insight into the running of the office.
The Administrative Files span the years 1955 to 1986. Files documenting the organization of the provisional League in 1955-1956 are followed by three major sets of files: Annual Meeting Minutes and Reports, 1956-1985; Board Meeting Minutes and Reports, 1956-1985; and a run of the League's "Allen Park Voter" Newsletter, 1955-1986.
The Administrative Files (1.2 linear feet) contain material related to the formation of the Ann Arbor Committee for Peace, material from Board of Directors meetings, and chronological files documenting Michigan Peacework's activities through press clippings and fliers.
The earliest records within the St. Mary Chapel administrative files series are fragmentary and incomplete. For the years 1921 to 1942, the only surviving documentation are three volumes containing listings of Sunday pulpit announcements. There is greater information for the period since 1942, including correspondence with the archdiocese of Detroit, and correspondence relating to the Gabriel Richard Fundraising Drive. Of interest is correspondence of Father John Fauser between 1967 and 1969, which provides an idea of the changing role of the church and worship format in relation to the social upheavals of the 1960s. The period of 1969 to 1979 is covered in greater detail largely because of the creation of the Chapel Council whose minutes are part of this collection.
The Administrative Files series is comprised of records created by the Diversity Blueprints Task Force and its subcommittees in the fulfillment of their official charge from President Mary Sue Coleman. The records in this series were originally created and maintained in a collaborative digital workspace (CTools, the University of Michigan's implementation of the open source Sakai platform). Screenshots of this software platform are included alongside records to provide contextual information about the original environment of the materials. The series is divided into six sections: records of the full Task Force, records of the four subcommittees (Undergraduate Admissions, Financial Aid, and Pipeline; Graduate Student Recruitment, Retention, and Pipeline; Faculty and Staff Hiring and Retention; and Educational Outreach and Engagement), and the Task Force final report. The task force and subcommittee records consist of email correspondence (with attachments), report drafts, suggestions from the community, information on diversity initiatives at peer institutions, meeting materials, PowerPoint presentations, and reviews of U-M efforts to promote diversity.
The two main subseries of the Administrative Files, Budgets and Development Correspondence, provide the most notable records in this series. Budgets provides information on the Clinic's financial operations from 1989 to 1995. Correspondence deals almost exclusively with external fundraising for the Clinic and is organized by the individuals solicited. The bulk of these records are from 1990 to 1995.
The bulk of the collection consists of chapter newsletters in the administrative files series (3 folders). These chapter newsletters are the cornerstone of the collection, reflecting the chapter's activities across almost two decades -- from 1983 to 2002. Not only do the newsletters paint a picture of the chapter's activities, they also provide a glimpse into national and state affairs of interest to the Oakland County NOW.
The Administrative Files (0.7 linear feet) contain material related to the management of Arbornet and M-Net, including records of board meetings and member lists.
