The Archived Website series documents the academic programs, accomplishments, resources, events, and people at the School of Public Health. Content includes important news and announcements, publications (such as newsletters and course catalogs), and information about admissions, curriculum, degree requirements, faculty, and the overall mission of the School. The website series is arranged chronologically, with captures from 1997 to 2015. Starting in 2010, this archived website has been captured on a regular, ongoing basis as part of the University of Michigan Web Archives.

The Sub-Unit Publications series includes publications created by sub-units within the School of Social Work. This series includes an alumni publication entitled The Link. This series also contains bulletins and newsletters from the Center for the Study of Youth Policy, which discuss various governmental policies and how they affect children in society. The heading "Development" includes the Prospectus for a New Building for the School of Social Work, which describes the building needs of the School of Social Work but does not include any preliminary drawings.

The Group Work Program series (2.0 linear feet) dates from 1946 to 1970. Group Work is based on social science and social psychology. During Group Work the social worker acts as an outside force to affect the actions and thinking of the group instead of becoming a part of the group. This series includes three subseries: Administration, Faculty Papers, and Case Studies. Each of these subseries are arranged alphabetically. The Administration subseries contains records of the course work, curriculum, and lists of faculty papers. The Faculty Papers subseries is arranged alphabetically by faculty names. Some of the papers have been published. The Case Study subseries contains case studies done on group work during this time at the university and is arranged alphabetically by topic. There are also three reel-to-reel audio tapes which are included in the records.

The Core Records series contains material generated by SACUA itself, as opposed to its committees or subcommittees. The core records series includes correspondence, chairman's papers, documents on tenure and grievance cases, and SACUA reports on a variety of subjects. The series also contains "Masterbooks", which are official compilations of minutes, research, and other documents that were used at SACUA meetings. It also includes "Chron Books" which SACUA used as topical files.

The series also contains a folder of material explaining the structure of SACUA and the Senate Assembly, which might help researchers to understand the structure of faculty governance.

The Visual Materials series includes Photographs and Films, mainly recordings of television public affairs programs.

The Photographs series, 1 linear foot, consists of numerous individual and group portraits of Sligh family members, shots of Sligh Furniture Company factories and workers, and photos documenting Charles Sligh, Jr's. activities on behalf of the National Association of Manufacturers, including photos with President's Eisenhower and Kennedy.

The E-mail Correspondence (1995-1996, 1.13 MB) series contains e-mail correspondence on social, professional and academic activities.

The Website series consists of two website captures July 23, 2000 (2,193 digital records, 52.1 MB) and April 24, 2009, (91,911 digital files, 708 digital folders).

The July 23, 2000 website capture, transferred via File Transfer Protocol, is comprised of the entire contents of the Solar Car Team website as they appeared on the transfer date. The website includes HTML files, image files, PDF files of newsletters, and four RealAudio files. The original organization and structure of the online files has been preserved in the archived website. Content of links external to the University of Michigan has not been included in the website subseries, though a citation to the original Universal Resource Locator (URL) can be found within the content of the digital records.

The website includes information for public dissemination on Solar Car teams, sponsors, and races. Six of the Solar Car Teams are represented in the website: Sunrunner, Maize & Blue, Solar Vision, Wolverine, MaizeBlaze, and MPulse. Though documentation is available in varying degrees for each team, most team pages include information on the team members, the technical specifications for that team's car, team sponsors, and an extensive collection of photographs of races and events in which the team participated. Of particular interest are the pages for the MaizeBlaze team, which include audio and journal accounts from race team members for the team's entry in the World Solar Challenge.

The website also includes year-by-year information on the Solar Car Team's participation in two major races, the GM Sunrayce and the World Solar Challenge, information for visitors about building solar cars and sponsoring the team, and issues of the team's monthly newsletter. A large number of thumbnail and full-size digitized photographs and digital images, mainly of team members and team activities, are also included.

The Website 2006-2009 subseries features a snapshot of the Solar Car Team's website (http://solarcar.engin.umich.edu/). The website snapshot was harvested by the University Archives staff in April 2009 using the software HTTrack website copier downloaded from: http://www.httrack.com/. The website includes information on the current solar car Infinium (2009). The website is divided into news, sponsors, recruitment information, about us, donation information, and multimedia sections. Information regarding past teams and cars is small. The multimedia section features photographs from 2006 to present of the team, races, and cars. The website is in Drupal; an open source software package freely available for publishing, managing, and organizing a website (http://drupal.org). Blogs are heavily used on the website and the different sections are posted to in a blog format, chronologically from the top down.
