The Welch papers include a small amount of biographical and personal material, but the bulk of the collection documents his work on architectural, design and planning projects in Michigan and across the country - many having to do with shopping malls, business districts and urban redevelopment. The collection is arranged in eight series: biographical materials; correspondence; personal, financial, and family materials; professional information files; Michigan project files; out-of-state project files; articles and speeches; and photographs.
The correspondence series covers the period of 1945 to 1972 and is arranged alphabetically. The bulk of the correspondence concerns projects Welch was involved with and his professional activities. There are two folders of correspondence with Gerald Ford.
