The Bay City, Michigan city government collection consists of the records of various city offices dating between 1898 and 1933.

In 1921 John Dean was elected mayor. Topics in the files include the city's water supply, life on the home-front during World War I, the League to Enforce Peace, veterans' affairs, the city's campaign against venereal disease in 1920, unemployment, and the work of the Michigan Municipal League.
