Helen W. Milliken Papers, 1965-1982 (majority within 1969-1982)
18.4 linear feet
The Helen Milliken papers total 18.4 linear feet of correspondence, organizational records, printed material, and photographs largely from the period 1969-1982 (though there are some items dating back to 1965). The collection consists of four principal series: Topical Files, Correspondence, Appearances, and Photographs. Preceding these is a file of Biographical Material.
Topical files, 1969-1982
The Topical Files (arranged alphabetically) consist of correspondence, organizational records, printed material, and clippings on subjects reflecting Helen Milliken's interest in the arts, environmental protection, and women's rights. The principal subjects within this series concern Artrain, International Women's Year, the Michigan Council for the Arts, and Youth for Understanding. Other subjects (less heavily documented) include billboard control, the Equal Rights Amendment, the Pigeon River State Forest controversy, the Project on Equal Education Rights, and the Special Commission on Art in State Buildings. The remaining files are uneven in content. Some contain significant correspondence or policy-related records; others include only perfunctory materials.
