Films

Provenance is vague: the films came to the Archives from the Development Office when the Fourth Avenue Office Building was vacated, March 1977, but most probably were produced and used by other offices.

Funds and Corporations

This series contains files regarding scholarships and loan funds for students and other college investments. Some files seem to relate more to activities of the Treasurer's Office than to Development Office activities. Also includes files relating to insurance for college employees. Comments in the box listing contain more details of certain files. Provenance: Received from Mickey Munley, Development Office, Jan. 1997

Wills and Trusts

Contents: This series includes wills, trusts, annuities, and relevant correspondence from alumni, their legal and financial consultants, and College staff. Also included are some investments' records from the College Treasurer; real estate holdings (both land and buildings); and college mortgages. Materials in boxes 4-6 had been water-damaged before they were transferred to the Archives. Some documents may require more extensive conservation treatment before being used. Materials discarded: Duplicates; quarterly or annual statements for estates in which Grinnell College was a legatee. Provenance: Received from Mickey Munley, Development Office, Jan. 1997

Genealogies

This series contains family genealogies compiled by Grinnell alumni and by Development Office Staff. The genealogies are only for family members who attended Grinnell College or have a Grinnell College connection. The index that came with the materials was not entirely accurate. The index that follows lists those genealogies that are included. Provenance: Given to Archives by Jan McConnell, Development Office, February 1997

Office Files

This series includes files for fund raising activities including the Phonathan, Annual Fund/Class Fund, Parents' Fund, and special mailings and events. A small, representative sample of these activities were transferred to the Archives; they provide evidence of annual and semi-annual operations that varied only slightly year-to-year. The remainder of the files were returned to the Development/Alumni Office. Provenance: Sent to the Archives by Bonnie Primley, 1998-99.
