The Main Series, 1902-1996, and continuing, was compiled by the Athletic Department. It covers men's intercollegiate athletics and includes newspaper clippings from the Michigan Daily, Ann Arbor News, Detroit Free Press and Detroit News, and occasionally from other out-of-town newspapers and national magazines. The coverage for the years 1902 to approximately 1920 is somewhat spotty. After 1920 coverage becomes much more thorough. All varsity sports are covered. The volumes for 1902-1927 are arranged by sport. Beginning in September 1927 all sports are included in a single chronological order. Individual clippings are occasionally out of order by as much as a week and there is some overlap between volumes. Not all feature articles related to UM athletics appearing in the Daily or Detroit papers were clipped for the scrapbooks.
