The Administrative File series documents DWM's work against the proposed low-level radioactive waste dump proposed for placement in Michigan. The Administrative File reveals the month to month workings of a grassroots coalition. These folders contain the richest source of information on the motivation behind the Don't Waste Michigan campaigns.
The Administrative Files series consists of one box, with the folders labeled according to the genres/categories of papers that were written. These files contain "Accession Forms" for the American Culture Folklore Archives, and were filled out by hand for each report in the collection. They contain an assigned accession number (one number per report), the genre and sub-genre categories the report files under, as well as any keywords, presumably student-assigned, that relate to the report. The form also has a checklist for each type of material that was submitted along with the report (a list of informants, discs, audio cassettes, etc.), which may or may not have remained with the collection. The second page of the accession form asks for certain metadata from the student, such as the page length for certain documents, the condition of the accession, location, and number of informants. The forms in this series correspond with the first accession of reports that came as part of this collection. Not all reports in the collection may have an accession form or be recorded in the administrative files.
These files also contain the information on the release status for the collection reports. In some cases the collector and author of the reports has assigned some release limitations and in other cases the informants/interviewees have assigned release limitations (typically that their names not be used).
The Administrative Files series contains some general information about the program, information regarding the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists' (AANA) accreditation of the program during its later years (1973-1985), an administrative manual from the 1980's, and correspondence. The three bound reports that are included in this series (the Self Evaluation Study, Enclosures to Self Evaluation Study, and Response to Summary Report) were prepared in 1985 as part of the AANA's accreditation process. This series also contains files regarding three important events in the program's later history: the expansion of the program from eighteen months to twenty four months (1975), the proposal for the addition of a Master of Science in Anesthesia (1982-1984), and information regarding the eventual closure of the program in 1987.
The Administrative Files series, 2004-2012 (0.2 linear feet), is arranged alphabetically and primarily consists of correspondence, reports, and committee and director information relating to the Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum. Material from the Friends of the MBGNA is also inluded in this series.
The Administrative Files series documents the Ann Arbor Junior Chamber of Commerce's organizational functions including: executive meetings, finances, membership administration, and correspondence.
The Administrative Files series includes records of the foundation, organizational structure, and operation of the International Neighbors. The Annual Meeting Reports and Minutes provides a year-by-year summary of the major activities and concerns of the organization. Two folders of histories include Esther Dunham's account of the organization's beginnings as well as later chronologies and summaries. The Participant-Guests Committee folder is a rich source of statistical information about the number and nationality of the organization's participants. The folder of Presidential Annual Reports fills in the gaps of documentation in the 1990s, when Board Minutes and Treasurer's Annual reports are missing.
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.
