Archived Website
The Archived Website series (176.7 MB) documents various components of the M-Pathways project. The website targets as its primary audience the University of Michigan administrative system user, although some sections, such as the "Project Overview" would be of interest to a broader audience. The series is arranged chronologically and includes content captured by the Internet Archive starting in 1997 as well as captures provided by Bentley Library archivists in 2000 and 2006. Content includes announcements, publications (such as newsletters), documentation of procedures, and information on the Human Resources System, Physical Resources System, Research Administration System (2000 version), Student Administration System, data delivery (2006 version), and associated training.
Visual Materials
Of most interest is the visual component of the collection - photographs, editorial cartoons, and motion pictures. The photographs are of bridges and roads in Clinton, Eaton, Ingham, and Ionia Counties, Marine City, and Sault Ste. Marie. There are also photographs of political activities and campaigning, and visits to defense plants during World War II. The editorial cartoons are originals, most of which were drawn by Detroit News artist Frank Williams.
Motion pictures
The films are of Michigan political figures and of various events, including inaugurations of governors and construction and dedication of the Mackinac and Blue Water Bridges, and of Van Wagoner's travels in the West, Europe, and Mexico.
