Topical Files
The Topical subseries includes Biographical files which contain fairly detailed materials to assist the researcher in determining the major events in Jouppi's life. Materials in the ISSOF Associates and Jouppi Management Company files pertain to the family real estate and mineral rights companies. The Job Searches file contains correspondence and resumes which are valuable in detailing Jouppi's skills and those business areas in which he thought his talents could best be used. The Organizations files document his devotion to both Suomi College and to the Lutheran Church and his involvement, as trustee and president, with the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod Foundation. The Prayers and Personal Reflections file includes prayers written by Jouppi which demonstrate his strong reliance on God for guidance in daily affairs.
Topical Files
The Topical Files series (2.2 linear feet) span1972-1996 and includes correspondence and topical files from the office of Zaida Giraldo dating from 1989 to 1993. The bulk of this series describes grievance procedures and includes reports on harassment and discrimination, both racial and sexual, within the university from 1985 to 1995. Researchers will also find folders on topics such as family and dependent care, family housing, and the merger of the Affirmative Action Office and the Personnel Office in 1994.
Topical Files, 1905-1999
The Topical Files, 1905-1999 series consist of materials concerning official library business and the directors' professional activities and consulting work. Each subseries represents a separate accession of materials but when taken together they create a continuous file from 1905 to 1999. These series primarily consist of intra-university correspondence and correspondence with library donors, with other libraries around the world, with state and national library organizations, and with vendors.
In each of the subseries, the alphabetical arrangement devised by the director's office has been retained, although there are inconsistencies in it. Researchers should note that government agencies and other organizations are arranged hierarchically (e.g. "U.S. Library of Congress" and "Michigan. University. Library-Staff"), but this rule is not always applied, and material related to the two examples given can also be found directly under "Library of Congress" and "Staff", respectively. Organizations which have changed their names are usually found under all successive names. Material concerning the University of Michigan Library can be found under "General Library," "Michigan. University. General Library," and "Michigan. University. Library."
