The Superconducting Super Collider series (3.5 linear feet) consists of proposals, reports, correspondence, maps, and historical materials related to the effort to bring the Department of Energy's Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) to the state of Michigan during the 1980s. In October 1983 the United States Department of Energy (DOE) announced plans to develop a large accelerator to study high-energy physics to be located at a site to be determined in the United States. In 1984 Michigan initiated a tri-state investigation into potential host sites with Indiana and Ohio. This coalition later came apart and Ohio and Michigan decided to submit bids independently. Several sites in Michigan were considered, including Monroe and Lenawee counties, Dundee, and Stockbridge. Site proposals for Dundee and Stockbridge were submitted to the Department of Energy, but only the Stockbridge site was announced as one of the eight Best Qualified Sites (BQL) and selected to host a DOE site visit in May and June, 1988. Michigan's effort proved to be unsuccessful when Texas was announced as the chosen site in January 1989 (The project turned out to be plagued with controversy. After a investment of more than two billion dollars, the Superconducting Super Collider project was later terminated in late 1993 by order of Congress). Lawrence Jones was one of the major participants in the Michigan SSC effort, and the material in this series reflects all phases of the campaign, including correspondence with government officials, members of industry, and researchers, contact lists for the Michigan Commission, information and reports on the science and costs of the SSC, and the multi-volume site proposals for Dundee and Stockbridge. The series also includes promotional videotapes for the Stockbridge site and audio and videotapes of media appearances by Jones and other participants.
