The library has gotten several new collections in over the past few months, including a group of records from the Michigan Conference, UCC. They had been holding onto pre-UCC material that they realized would be better served in our space. Of that set, the largest collection (one banker's box worth) is from the Congregational Association of Detroit. The bulk of the material covers the Trustees meetings and minutes from the 1930s-1960s. There is also representation from some women's groups: a Union, a Missionary Union and a Fellowship, to be precise.
We have very little material from the Michigan Conference, so this collection presents a new opportunity to see what the mid-western Congregationalists were doing, particularly during World War II era.

Update: We found some additional Michigan Conference records among the donated material, so the collection has been expanded and renamed. It is now the Michigan Conference of Congregational Christian Churches.
