Professor in the University of Michigan School of Education. Subject files relating mainly to his interest in adult and continuing education.

The Berlin papers pertain to those several areas of service which Professor Berlin performed for the University of Michigan School of Education, primarily in the area of adult and continuing education. The papers focus on curriculum and program development for the Department of Adult and Continuing Education, with a small amount of information about other areas in which Berlin was involved.

The collection is arranged into one alphabetical series. By far the richest of the collection concerns his involvement with Adult and Continuing Education (ACE). It is organized by date in five separate folders, spanning the years 1971 through 1983. These files include reports and other information on the curriculum's development, departmental memos regarding faculty and staff, and Berlin's rise within the department from professor to department chair. ACE was, at times, a controversial endeavor for the School of Education and sparked much discussion on the theories and practices of adult education. The ACE files end with a folder containing issues of the ACE Reporter, a student publication of the ACE Department where Berlin was a frequent contributor and subject for student writings.

Smaller in size are files relating to Continuing Education and Community Development (CECD), the U-M Extension Service, and the Gerontology and Program in Human Resources Development. While these files are interesting because their presence testifies to a relationship between the School of Education and these branch areas, the records are so sporadic that none of them significantly clarify the relationship shared with the School of Education.

The collection concludes with miscellaneous correspondence and publications. The publication file contains a copy of Continuum, an adult education magazine to which Berlin contributed.
