Director's Office Files

The Director's Office Files, dated 1912-1994, include the Extension Service's annual reports, minutes of the executive committee and staff meetings, financial records, enrollment records, and topical files. Also included are specific reports and surveys and the personal files of the first three directors: William D. Henderson, Charles A. Fisher, and Everett J. Soop. The bulk of material in the Director's Office Files are the Topical Files. There are four separate runs of topical files: 1912-1959, 1959-1972, ca. 1936-1980 and 1950-1994. The topical files are arranged alphabetically. Some of the more important files concern adult education, Extension Service conferences and institutes, civil defense and disaster training, and the Michigan Coordinating Council of State College Field Services.
