The papers document the development and activities of various University of Michigan student governance groups and campus organizations from 1967 to 1971. The files are divided into six series: Central Student Data Files, Co-op, Graduate Assembly, Student Relations Committee, University Bookstore, Inc., and Student Government Council. The series represent the original order of the materials.
The Co-op series contains documents regarding the establishment of the University Cooperative in 1969, developed in parallel with the University Bookstore, with some association with the Credit Union. The Co-op served as a means to purchase and negotiate various discounts within the Ann Arbor community. The series includes correspondence, meeting minutes, memos, publicity, and reports and proposals.
