This linear foot of the Department of Internal Medicine records consists of two series. The first series, Early Administrative Records, contains information dating from 1931 to 1959, including notes from discussion groups regarding intern and residency programs, medical school teaching, and patient and outpatient care, as well as correspondence and lecture notes, copies of major addresses given before Internal Medicine staff and students, personal notes and lecture outlines by Dr. Cyrus C. Sturgis, Chief of Medical Service. This series also contains the Precedent Book for Instructors in Charge of Interns, developed by Dr. Sturgis in 1931, which contains information regarding the specific duties of interns and the manner in which their work was to be supervised.
The Unit Publications series contains printed material published specifically by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics. These publications are defined as being widely distributed and may be published at regular intervals. They are arranged by genre of the publication.
The Unit Publications series contains annual reports, bibliographies, brochures, bulletins, directories, flyers, histories, lectures, manuals, newsletters, posters, programs, and reports. The annual reports document the department from 1984 to 2000. They also include the 1992-1993 annual report entitled 125 Years of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan which was written to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the department. This series also includes bulletins dating from 1966 to 1995 describing the various graduate programs within the department. Under "Directories" the researcher will find faculty and staff directories from 1992 to 1997 and directories for women and minority students from the period 1992 to 1994. There is also a directory of the various manufacturing laboratories within the department. Of the two histories included in this series, the first was compiled to celebrate the centennial of the College of Engineering in 1954 and contains a brief history of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics. The centennial history of the department– Mechanical Engineering at Michigan, 1868-1968: A Volume Issued on the Occasion of the Centennial Celebration of the Department of Mechanical Engineering will also be found in this series.
A copy of the lecture "Kansei" Engineering: The Art of Automotive Development at Mazda which was given by Kenichi Yamamoto in 1986 is included in the Unit Publications. There are three manuals contained in this series, including The Graduate Programs Handbook published in 1997 to aid the department's incoming graduate students with admission information, degree requirements, course and facility descriptions, and faculty information. There is also a 1908 manual of Drawing Standards and Conventions. The internal department Newsletter documents the activities of the faculty and staff from 1979 to 1995 with the exception of 1980.
The Minutes series, 1922-2007 (5.0 linear feet), includes chronologically arranged minutes of both Faculty Meetings and Advisory Committees covering the periods 1922-1941 and 1984-2007. There is a considerable gap in this series between 1941 and 1984; this may be the result of individual chairs, rather than the department itself, overseeing records. Later minutes also frequently include meeting agendas, notes, handouts from meetings, and other information relating to decision-making at faculty and advisory committee meetings, such as faculty hiring and promotion and course approvals. The minutes of the Advisory Committee occasionally discuss personal matters and are subject to the 30-year personnel record restriction.
