Ann Arbor-based consortium of liberal arts colleges from Ohio, Indiana and Michigan formed to share resources, develop collaborative educational programs, and address common issues. Collection includes administrative records, correspondence, program proposals and reports, grant information, and content related to lobbying.

The Great Lakes Colleges Association records detail the organization and administration of a progressive and innovative university consortium. The materials document the development of a range of educational programs as well as instructional initiatives. The collection will be of particular interest to those studying the opportunities posed by university consortia and the evolution of higher education in the 1960s and 70s. The GLCA records are divided into five series: Organization and Administration, Academic Programs, Other Organizations, Foundations, and Legislation and Lobbying.
