Collections : [Archives of Michigan]

The bulk of the materials in this series deal with the years after Sigler was Governor of Michigan (post 1948). Much of the correspondence reflects how many business and personal activities Sigler engaged in. Piloting his own plane, he was very mobile. He was a featured speaker for many clubs and organizations. These letters reflect how much business was mixed with pleasure for gentlemen of his social and economic status. There is documentation describing flying trips to North and Central America. On a more personal note, his wife had multiple sclerosis and there is material showing his research into this topic. The newspaper clippings document Sigler’s gubernatorial campaign and his time in office (1946-1948). Photographs in this series are both personal and political.
