Democratic Party (Ann Arbor, Mich.) records, 1959-2002 (majority within 1979-1985)

2.3 linear feet

Files relating to local campaigns and to party organization.

The Ann Arbor Democratic Party papers have been organized in four series: 1959-1970 Materials; 1970-1976 Materials; Campaigns, 1977-1987; and Standing Committees/ Day-to-Day Functioning, 1975-1988. The bulk of the material falls within the compass of the last two series, since the local party generated more files once its members had access to computers. The last two series should be viewed as complementary units; the original files were in such disorder that extensive re-filing of documents was necessary during processing.
