The Administrative and Financial series documents the management of the organization, and includes board of directors' minutes, planning materials, financial statements, annual reports, procedure manuals, and correspondence. The bulk of the correspondence in this series consists of letters sent by Executive Director LeRoy Harvey and a smaller number sent by his successor Patrick Hudson. There are some incoming letters as well, but the majority of incoming correspondence is filed by the program or activity to which it pertains.

The Administrative and Related Records series documents IGE's background and general administration and includes bylaws, clippings, correspondence, financial records, grant proposals, and information related to meetings and volunteers.

The Administration and Research Development and Training Program series (1.8 linear feet, 1976-1996) contains records from the administrative core facility and the research development and training program component of the MDRTC; these two components form one series since they are closely intertwined. This series contains the minutes of many committees, including the policy committee (1976), the executive committee (1976-1980), and the scientific review committee (1978-1984). The series documents the planning process behind the MDRTC, the initial grant application and site visit preparation, subsequent grant renewal activities, and the development of research projects.

Administrative/Background series documents the student organization's history, organizational structure, and early financial activities. The series contains an annotated chronology, brochures, board minutes, lease agreement, warranty deed, and some correspondence. The series also includes photographs and material related to the 1951 construction of the University of Michigan Hillel Building on 1429 Hill Street.

The Administrative File holds the records of various committees within IDD and documentation of various reviews of the unit. "Memoranda and Correspondence" primarily contains departmental communications with other university offices. Records of two Review Committees, 1978 and 1984-1985, pertain to analyses of IDD and its original parent organization, Institute of Science and Technology (IST). These folders hold valuable documentation on the status of IDD at those times. The "Realignment" folders contain materials relating to IDD's administrative shift from IST to the College of Engineering and the School of Business.

The Administrative File contains an incomplete run of materials from throughout the history of the camp. It includes a small amount of correspondence, scattered meeting minutes of the executive committee, grant applications and reports, financial records and staff and student information. The financial records include information on the land purchase and a sketch showing the location of the land. Staff manuals provide documentation of camp policy, activities, participation, and routine administrative functions such as counselor applications. Two ledgers are included within this series, the first of which lists students and counselors from 1922 to 1932. Information includes names, age, church, and sponsoring organization. The second ledger is a record of medical treatment covering the 1979 season.
