As an active member of committees at both the University of Michigan and as a member of the AAUP, Ralph Loomis comprehensively collected correspondence and memoranda from the work of Department of English and Humanities committees, College of Engineering committees, and University committees established by the Senate Assembly and SACUA, as well as various ad hoc committees established by the university.
As a member of the AAUP, Ralph Loomis collected a wide array of correspondence, memoranda, and minutes of the university, state, and national chapters, as well as working committees of those chapters. Especially interesting is the collection of papers relating to collective bargaining. These papers include speeches that Ralph Loomis gave on collective bargaining, as well as papers relating to the collective bargaining elections at Eastern Michigan, Northern Michigan, and Wayne State, which occurred during 1971 to 1972.
The collection is divided into four major series: Department of Humanities/English, College of Engineering, University of Michigan, American Association of University Professors, Dissolving of the Department, General Files, and Johnathan Marwil Case.
