Administration (1 linear foot, 1951-2004) includes correspondence, newspaper articles, photographs, and publications. The correspondence documents the daily administration of the program and negotiation for the continuation of the program. Of special note are letters from many former students written in 1974 about their experiences in the program. The newspaper articles are mainly publicity for the program, and discuss the purpose and findings of the projects. The photographs show students collecting and analyzing the survey data. Publications form half of this series. Some are published by DAS about the program, and others are publications by faculty and students using the data collected by the survey. Also of note are lists of survey topics by year and bibliographies of all the publications using DAS data. Publications are arranged alphabetically, by title.

The Administration series is the largest series. This series includes; audits, clippings, contracts, correspondence, financial records, history, job descriptions, licensure and certification, manuals, marketing, minutes, monthly summaries, plans, proposals, publications, reports, and tax returns. The series contains documentation pertaining to the creation, finances, publicity, and management of Individualized Home Nursing Care. There is a large amount of minutes, which document board of directors, committee, sub-committee, and review committee meetings. Through the minutes the social programs, outreach planning, marketing, particular aspects of patient care and specific financial concerns are detailed. Materials of interest may include correspondence between Individualized Home Nursing Care and Yomiuri Shimbun, a Japanese newspaper, regarding the work done by Individualized Home Nursing Care.

The series also includes detailed information pertaining to the financial state of the organization and statistics regarding patient care, which can be found in the audit documentation, monthly summaries, and the tax information. The founding documentation within the history sub series may also be of interest because it documents the evolving goals, mission statement, and responsibilities of the organization and its board members.

The bulk of the records are in the Administration series. This series is primarily composed of meeting minutes that span from 1896-1997. These meeting minutes reflect the evolving mission of the camp as it was influenced by the changing social norms. The meeting minutes comprise two groups, the House Committee and the Girls Friendly Society Board of Directors. These meeting minutes were kept intermingled because they had overlapping membership and in some instances the notes refer to one another. Interspersed throughout the meeting minutes are annual reports and monthly financial reports. These reports are kept with the meeting minutes because they are referenced in the meeting minutes. Significant issues found in the notes are the changing administration of the society and of Camp Holiday, the amount of resources spent on the maintenance of the cottages, and the annual experiences of the summer camp staff. The Administration series also contains information pertaining to the background of the camp, committee member lists, constitution and by-laws, brief correspondence which includes a letter sent to the Queen of England, material from a leaders workbook in 1980, membership policies, and the 1980 Trust Agreement.

The Administration series contains a wealth of historical background material in the form of both official publications and typed and handwritten reports. An organization historian existed for every two-year administration, providing consistent records of the organization's activities and achievements. These include organization membership, awards, educational courses, flower shows, and anniversaries. The series contains a nearly complete collection of Annual Meeting programs from 1934-2000, as well as documents relating to the Incorporation of the Foundation of the Federated Garden Clubs of Michigan in 1961 and its merger with the Federated Garden Clubs of Michigan, Inc. in 2004. Resolutions, Annual Reports (including financial), Meeting Minutes, and records of National Conventions are more sparse, but may also be found in significant runs for some years.
