Two essays Irvin wrote are also included. Unidentified Muncy materials and an undated Civil War notebook of Lee Gibbs complete the collection. Gibbs’ relationship, if any, to the Muncys is unknown.

Griffith illustrated both with caricatures of personages, maps, and political cartoons drawn by Griffith and the text reflects his copperhead upbringing.

The remainder of the collection consists of a newspaper-like manuscript from 1872, "The Reservator," including political commentary on history and current events; a memoir of his Iowa boyhood during the Civil War (also made to look like a newspaper); another newspaper-like manuscript, entitled "Monthly Notings" written while in the Washington Territory, 1886; two notebooks, a scrapbook, and an album of family and friends' cartes-de-visite and tintypes.

Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee of Michigan. Correspondence and campaign material concerning the activities of the Democratic Party and the gubernatorial campaign of John Swainson in 1962.

The Collins papers relate almost exclusively to the period of his chairmanship of the state Democratic Party, 1961-1962. Although the files were donated as a personal collection, they should be considered as part of the state Democratic Party record group. The researcher is thus advised to examine both that record group and the Collins papers for activities of the Democratic Party in Michigan in the period of the Swainson administration, 1961-1962. The papers have been arranged into the following series: Topical Files; Democratic Party County Committee Files; 1962 Campaign files; and John J. Collins press releases, speeches, and miscellaneous.

Republican state senator from Battle Creek, Michigan, 1987-2002; legislative files documenting issues of higher education appropriations, state health concerns, and expenditure of monies received from lawsuit against the tobacco companies.

The papers represent a fragment of this state senator's career as much material had been discarded prior to the library's contact with the Schwarz office. Although some of the materials (mainly clippings) date to the period when he first came to Lansing in the mid-1980s, the great bulk of the collection dates from Schwarz's last term in office, 1999-2002. As might be expected, the files pertain to Schwarz's activities in the state senate, especially on issues of appropriations to the state's colleges and universities. There is also substantial information relating to current state health issues. Not present in these papers are materials relating to his activities outside the senate, campaigns for office, or his candidacy for governor in 2002. There are also no photographs or other visual materials in the collection.

The papers have been brought together in the following series: Higher Education; Health Issues; Other Issues; and Miscellaneous.
