The Michigan Woman's Temperance Union records divide into seven series: Correspondence; Miscellaneous and Publicity; Printed Materials; District Records; County Union Records; Local Union Records; and Photographs. The records document the period of the Michigan WCTU's greatest influence, the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as the organization's gradual declining influence following the repeal of the prohibition amendment.
Miscellaneous and Publicity (0.3 linear ft.; 1915-1974) consists of scrapbooks, song sheets, lecture notes and award certificates, which were produced to promote and publicize the WCTU cause.
