University of Michigan professor of political science, specialist in Philippine Island politics and government, vice governor of the Philippines in the 1930s; correspondence, collected Philippine materials, course materials.

As vice governor of the Philippine Islands during the 1930s, and later as advisor on Philippine affairs to General Douglas MacArthur during World War II, Joseph R. Hayden was recipient of much substantive documentation relating to the American phase of Philippine Island history. Hayden was an astute and discerning scholar of Philippine life and history, and as such used the opportunity of his frequent trips to the Far East to collect materials (official and personal) that he knew would be of value in his teaching and research, and that he also hoped would prove useful to scholars following after him. Although the Hayden papers include some non-Philippine materials, such as his University of Michigan files and those records from his service with the Michigan Naval Division during World War I, the Philippine Collection is the heart of the collection. Comprising more than 75% of the Hayden papers, the Philippine Collection is testimony to Hayden's foresight in drawing together official documents (because of the positions he held) and other records (sent to him because of his known interest in the Philippines). This collection of official reports, minutes of meetings attended, memoranda with government officials, photographs, clippings, and published materials is unique, especially because of the devastation to Philippine public records and historical documents that occurred during the war.

Philippine collection

Arranged topically, the Philippine collection series includes the following subseries: Administrative; Economic; Education; Foreign Relations; Historical and Social; Legislative, Constitutional and Judicial; Political; Provincial; and Miscellaneous. Within each of these subseries, there are further subdivisions made clear by the folder listing. The arrangement of the Philippine Collection is in much the same order as that developed and maintained by Hayden. Types of materials found within the various folders include reports and memoranda, both official and informal, addresses and speeches, documents of an official nature (such as copies of legislation, budgets, departmental reports, and minutes of meetings), correspondence, and clippings. The Philippine Collection includes photographs that Hayden collected while serving in the Philippines. Also in this series are four motion pictures (with VHS use copies) of scenes of Filipinos life and the Philippine countryside, government installations, American personnel, and official daily life in the Philippine Islands during the mid-1930s.
