The Division Records subgroup (16 linear feet) contains records from the four division units at the Bentley Library: Access and Reference Services, Michigan Historical Collections, Preservation and Conservation, and University Archives and Records Program (UARP).
Access and Reference Services 1961-2000 [series]
The Access and Reference Services, series 1961-2000 (3 linear feet) is broken down into Reference Archivist's files and Reference Reports. Files of the Reference Archivist are grouped according to the department heads. Mary Jo Pugh, Reference Archivist from 1969 to 1984, was the first Reference Archivist of the library. Her topical files include early policy, reference procedures, staff training, guides, and educational outreach activities. Nancy Bartlett was the Reference Archivist from 1985-1998. These records also emphasize reference policy, procedure, and education. The use of visual and electronic archival materials becomes more apparent. A significant number of files relate to outreach efforts within the community including a long-standing partnership with Eastern Michigan University's history program. Kathy Marquis was the third person to hold the Reference Archivist position, 1998-2002. Her records reflect student research at the library through correspondence and project files. They also contain major university issues during the time period including the affirmative action lawsuit. Reference staff development is also portrayed through the development of manuals and meeting minutes.
The second subseries in this accession is Reference Reports. The early years of reference are shown through the Work Reports. Research topics, user statistics, sample questions, reproduction requests, and annual studies were carefully documented. The Work Report format split into Monthly Reports and Annual Reports in the mid-1980s although generally contain the same type of information. The reports clearly track reference trends and use through the library's history.

Reference Division Reports 1969-1998 [subseries]
Tthe Reference Reports subseries consistst of a variety of monthly and annual reports on the division's activities. The early years of reference are shown through the Work Reports. Research topics, user statistics, sample questions, reproduction requests, and annual studies were carefully documented. The Work Report format split into Monthly Reports and Annual Reports in the mid-1980s although generally contain the same type of information. The reports clearly track reference trends and use through the library's history.
The Michigan Historical Collections series (1919-2014, bulk 1935-2014, 9.5 linear feet and one oversize box) consists of seven subseries: Office Diaries; Field Program; Topical Files; Reports; Thomas Powers' Talks; Len Coombs's files; and Lost, Recataloged, Discarded or Transferred Materials. A long run of Office Diaries (2 linear feet) covers the years 1935-1963.
Office Diaries [subseries]
Early on, the diaries were relatively informative documents, often including entries describing visitors and events at the BHL. Increasingly, however, they became more like logbooks recording commonplace transactions, such as the number of letters prepared each day and the name of each letter's recipient.

Lost, Recataloged, Discarded or Transferred Materials [subseries]
Two boxes of catalog index cards comprise the subseries, Lost, Re-cataloged, Discarded or Transferred Materials, 1949-1989 (0.6 linear feet). This assembly was largely generated during the transition from a card catalog to an online public access catalog system, when items that had been separately cataloged were returned to their collections of origin to be described collectively in finding aids, rather than through separate entries.

Preservation and Conservation 1987-2004 [series]
The Preservation and Conservation series (1977-2010, 2.3 linear feet) contains two subseries, Microfilm Projects, 1987-2010 (2.2 linear feet) and Reports, 1977-2007 (0.1 linear foot). The Microfilm Projects subseries consist of two alphabetic sequences that span different time periods (1987-2004) and (2000-2010). They were created by archivist Ann Flowers as she prepared individual collections for microfilming. They contain correspondence with the microphotography contractors and her quality control and cost analyses. The records are in alphabetical order by collection name.

University Archives and Records Program (UARP) 1973-2004 [series]
The University Archives and Records Program (UARP) series, 1973-2004, bulk 1981-2004 (7.5 linear feet) records are divided into five subseries: Agendas and Minutes, Marjorie Barritt, Nancy Bartlett, Staff Files and Manuals.
The Agendas and Minutes, 1988-2004 subseries (0.5 linear feet) contains records of periodic staff meetings. UARP's first head, Marjorie Barritt, contributed records (2.3 linear feet) that evidence the germination of the UARP program, its evolution and growth from the 1980s to the late 1990s, and the development of records policy at the University of Michigan. Together with the records of her successor, Nancy Bartlett (0.8 linear feet) and electronic records archivist Nancy Deromedi found in Staff Files (5.5 linear feet), Barritt's subseries documents UARP's long continuing interest in addressing issues revolving around the archival management of electronic records. UARP's involvement with international archival issues, including Marjorie Barritt's and Nancy Bartlett's editorial management of a special issue of the American Archivist devoted to international archives, is also well documented. Nancy Bartlett's files also contain her records of teaching the practice of appraisal to archives students at the University of Michigan's School of Information.
The Staff files subseries contains records generated by UARP staff, including assistant division head Brian Williams, electronic records archivist Nancy Deromedi, and associate archivist Marilyn McNitt. Brian Williams's files document the Bentley's work in advising the archives of the African National Congress University of Fort Hare in South Africa and the development of a collection strategy for documenting the history of medicine at the University of Michigan. The files of Nancy Deromedi, who later became head of the newly-formed Digital Curation Services division in 2011, document efforts to preserve and manage digital records, particularly the university's web presence and faculty and administration email. Marilyn McNitt's files include materials on exhibits planned by her as well as records relating to a project in which UARP provided the University of Michigan-Dearborn administration with consultation on records management and appraised and processed some of the Dearborn campus's records. The small subseries, Manuals, 1989-1994 (0.2 linear feet) includes instructions for UARP staff conducting field appraisal and processing collections. The unit's Records Policy and Procedures Manual 1993, was widely distributed throughout the university and is thus located in the "Bentley Historical Library Publications" record group, which has a separate finding aid.
