The Topical series, 1970-1998 (1.0 linear footeet.), is arranged alphabetically and consists mainly of materials relating to the different committees of, and studies undertaken by, the AWC. Of special interest are the Task Force on Primary Research which investigated many different aspects of research at the University of Michigan, especially the existence of gender bias; two reports to the Regents of the University (January 17 and March 14, 1985) in which the AWC presented a summary of their activities and an update on the Task Force on Primary Research study that had been issued in 1983; the Women's Initiative Group (WING), an organization that is interested in developing a closer community of women at the University of Michigan (one project they were especially interested in was a women's center on campus); and the Bryn Mawr and Higher Education Resource Services (HERS) Summer Institute for Women in Higher Education Program in which a tenured faculty woman from the University of Michigan was sponsored for a summer internship. In addition, "Rackham and Women" and "Women's' Platform (Women from the School of Natural Resources)" are two reports which reflect the relationships of women faculty and students at the university.
