The Lorraine M. Gutiérrez Papers are comprised of 2.5 linear feet of materials that cover the years 1973-2007. These materials primarily relate to the teaching and research interests of Gutiérrez, Professor of Social Work and Professor of Psychology. The collection is divided into four series: Course Syllabi & Evaluations, Papers, Proposals, and Topical Files.

Records of the School of Social Work (formerly the Institute of Social Work) include minutes, correspondence, curriculum records, and topical files, concerning the activities of the University's social work program under the direction of Robert Kelso, Arthur Dunham, Federle Fauri, Phillip Fellin, Harold R. Johnson, and Paula Allen-Meares.

The records document the founding and development of the School of Social Work from its inception as the Institute of Health and Social Sciences (later renamed as Institute of Public and Social Administration) in 1935, to its subsequent reorganization as the School of Social Work in 1951. The proposed merger with Wayne State University in 1950 is also well documented. The strength of this record group consists of 59 years of minutes (1935-1994), which include proceedings from executive, faculty, and curriculum committees.
