  • ETHNIC NEWSPAPER COMMITI'EE ORGANIZES

    The Committee on Ethnic Newspapers, chaired by Dick Hathaway, met on June 3, 1975, at the State Library to define its role and to organize itself for action. They defined an ethnic newspaper as " a weekly or more frequently printed publi-cation during most of its life which addresses itself to and expresses the concerns of a specific racial or ethnic group. It may be in the particular language of the ethnic group or in English." Periodicals which are church related and exclusively devoted to church activities and to devotional material are excluded. Newspapers published in ethnic communities but which do not particularly express an ethnic point of view are excluded.

    The committee plan a statewide survey to identify when and where ethnic papers have been publish~d in the state and ask the members of the MAA to assist the committee in its work and to plan to publish and distribute the completed survey. After the survey the committee plan to locate existing copies of papers and to implement a program fo y their preservation on microfilm.

    Area coordinators have been assigned as follows: Wayne Count¥, Joe Oldenburg; Southeast Michigan, Marion Marzolf; Eastern Lower Michigan, Fred Honhart; Western Lower Michigan, Dick Hathaway; Northern Lower Michigan, Bill Miles; Upper Peninsula with special assignment for Finnish pres$, Dave Halkola.

    Archivists wishing to assist the project should cqntact Dick Hathaway, Head, Michigan Unit, State Library, 735 East Michigan Avenue, Lansing, Michigan,48913.

    ORAL HISTORY COMMITTEE MEETS

    The Oral Hisbory Committee , chaired by Pat Freedman, met on September 12, 1975, at the Ford Centennial Library, Dearborn. The committee decided to canvass as many groups as possible in order to locate oral history projects which are being under-taken outside the larger and better known archival agencies.· After the initial survey, the committee hopes to publish a guide to oral history projects and to develop guidelin~s for preservation of oral his tory projects.

    COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC PAPERS REORGANIZED /

    Sev eral years ago, the Michigan Archival Association establishE!d a committee to consider collecting policies for the papers of state legislators and to determine areas needing cooperative efforts of the various archival agencies in the state. The committee made a good start, but Wayne Mann, the c hair.person, requ ested the Association to reconsti-tute the committee and broaden its charge.

    David ·Olson, Strate Archivist, has agreed to chair a new committee to review pertinent legislation dealing with the papers of public officials, to determine what h as been col l ected, to establish guidelines for distinguishing private from public papers, and to make recom-mendations on all these matters to the Association. Dennis East and Joe Oldenburg have agreed to serve on the committee.

    ' PAPERS TO BE PUBLISHED

    The Michigan Archival Association will publish three of the five papers delivered at the spring meeting of the Association. The papers will be published in October and will include the paper prepared by Dave Johnson of the State Archives .on the appraisal of public records, the paper delivered by Francis Blouin of the Mic higan Historical Collections on the appraisal of business records and Joseph Oldenberg's paper on the appraisal of personal papers. Larry Steck'~ presentation on tbe appraisal of the ~annah Lay and Co. collection will be published by the A...~erican Archivist in January 1976.

    SYMPOS IUM ON TRANSPORTATION

    The National Archives and Records Service and the Henry Ford Museum are co-spon soring a symposium on research materials in government records and special collections peFtaining to the subject of transportation. The meeting will be held Friday, October 31, 1975, in Lovett Hall, Greenfield Village. The sessions will be followed by tours of the transportation exhibits in the Henry Ford Museum.

    BURTON HISTORICAL COLLECTION DETROIT PUBLIC LIBRARY

    Activities

    The Burton Collection is happy to report that a Guide to the Manuscript Collections in the Burton Historical Collection is being compiled. The Guide will cover the recmrds of organizations, churches, clubs , aod businesses a nd personal papers. The records of the City of Detroit and of Wayne County will be excluded. The Guide will comprise about 2000 collections and we hope to have it completed in time for a 1976 Bicen-tennial publication date. In the future , the Burton Historical Collection plans to complete a separate Guide to city and county records.

    Three large and significant collections have been processed and cataloged. The first is the Engineering Society of Detroit Collec tion. The papers cover the years 1887-1971 and include minutes, constitution ' and bylaws, · correspondence , and financial records. The Engineering Society is the sucess.or of the Detroit Engineering Society which wa s originally founded by 13 University of Michigan Engineering graduates in 1895.

    The second collection is that of the Central Methodist Church. Th e papers cover t h e years 1820- 1970 and include minutes , correspondence, marriages , c onfirmations, and financial records, Central Me t hodist Church is an outgrowth of the F irst and Second Methodist Churches of Detroit which were created from the first Methodist congregation in Mic higan in 1809.

    The third collecti~n Traugott Schmitt and Sons Papers. This collection covers the years 1858-1970 and incluqes correspondence , cashbooks, journals, ledgers , letterbooks, record books and scrapbooks.

    in addition to the one still located in the Record Center. This move greatly expands the availabl e area for use by researchers.

    A grant received from the National Endowment for the Humanities provides a major portion of the funds necessary for a pilot looal records project in Michigan during the present fiscal year. The records of s ix counties will be inventoried, appraised,and selected items transferred into regional records depositories for processing and preser-vation. In addition a city within each selected county will be inventoried and selected records transferred to the appropriate regional center for pres-ervation.

    This program will be administered by the State Archives and personnel involved in the pr0gramwill be trained by the Archives staff. However , this project is in every sense a cooperative venture involving the efforts of not o nly the State Archives, but also the directors and staffs of the Burton Historical Collection, the Clarke Historical Library, the Regional History Collections at Western Michigan University, and the Regional Archives at Michigan Tech-nological University. The directors of these facilities will be directly in charge of on site operations. Further, after the public records portion of this project has been completed , the remaining funds will be used by these institutions to locate important records of a non-public nature within the assigned counties and to add them to their present manuscript holdings.

    A very valuall>le source of early local history in Michigan are the School Inspectors Annual Reports which date from 1859. These reports were bound in very large, cumbersome volume. Because of the

    .I

    amount of use that these volumes have received over the years, they have been deteriorating rapidly. To preserve these records and to make them more available to researchers, they are being micro-filmed. The project began in August a nd and will be completed by the end of June.

    Activities The National Historic Publications

    and Records Conunission· has recently funded a joint project of the Ohio Historical Society, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and the Michigan Historical Collections of the University of Mic higan to publish records relating to the Temperance anq Prohi bition movement to 1933. The resulting publication will consist of the records and publications of the Scientifi c Temperance Foundation, the W.C.T .U. , the National Conunittee of the Prohibition Party and the Anti-Salcbon League. It will also include the papers of Frances Willard, Ernest Cherrington, Howard Hyde Russell and Cora Frances Stoddard, all important figures in the movement.

    This i s the first joint project ever funded by the Conunission and was c hosen because the rnan~script collections so naturally complement each other. When compl eted in August of 1977, the publication is anticipated to run to over 400 reels of micrcofilm in 18 separate topical series. A substantial guide to the collection will be published. Andrea Lenz of the 0hio Historical Society serves as director of the project and Francis Blouin of the Mich-igan His t orical Collections serves as editor .
