The Committee Records (.7 linear feet; 1959-1984) series consists of minutes and correspondences of various committees formed within OTS. The Michigan Committee on Tropical Studies (MCOTS) is included in this series, but the Executive Committee is not because it is part of the Meeting Files series. There are ad hoc and standing committees included. This series is organized alphabetically by the title of the committee.
