Michigan Nursing Home Association "Proof of 699 Loop Holes in P. A. 139" booklet giving a list of addresses of 214 unlicensed nursing homes in Michigan, including a letter from Vice President Eugene W. Beach and an "Ask to See Our License" brochure, 1960

This devised collection contains a hodge podge of manuscript items, which came to the department separately, but together begin to tell an interesting though incomplete story of Grand Rapids, and its citizens and organizations, over the years.

One of the greatest strengths of the collection is the biographical information, either direct, such as in the Citizens Biographies, or indirect, such as information from a random diary or remembrance.

Some other subseries which seem to be building consistently are the memoriams, histories and ethnic materials.
