Annual Reports from the Grand Rapids or Michigan community are not systematically collected by the department, although they are often available in collections for a specific organization for which there is an archival collection.

The original of several of the mining and utility annual reports, not necessarily from the Grand Rapids area, may be as odd items which came in from individual donors, and have had no designated archival collection to house them to date. Some of these items may have been transferred from the Local History book collections due to poor condition.
