Chronological Files, 1926-1946
The Chronological Files series (.3 linear ft.) consists of 16 folders arranged chronologically that document the annual camp sessions from 1929 to 1946 (with the exception of 1936 and 1937). The folders consist of a variety of materials, the majority of which is correspondence of Camp Director Professor Robert Craig, Jr., much of it with Samuel Trask Dana, then dean of the School of Forestry and Conservation. Other materials found in this series include reports and news releases about camp activities authored by Professor Craig, student information, final examinations, property inventories, blueprints of planned buildings, news clippings, and budget information. Also of interest are feature stories submitted to the Michigan Daily by volunteer student correspondents, notable for their portrayal of student life at Camp Filibert Roth.
Professor Craig's on-site summer reports and post-session annual reports to Dean Dana offer fine outlines of the academic-administrative regimen of the camp and are the best source of information regarding camp activities.
