Council on Library and Information Resources Grant will allow preservation of Michigan’s 1961-1962 Constitutional Convention recordings
LANSING, Mich. – Today, the Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget (DTMB) announced that the Archives of Michigan has received a $50,000 grant through the Council on Library and Information Resources’ (CLIR) Recordings at Risk program. The Recordings at Risk program supports the preservation of rare and unique audio, audiovisual, and other time-based media of high scholarly value through digital reformatting. The Archives of Michigan will use the funding to digitize 612 magnetic tape audio reels and two 16mm films documenting the 1961-1962 Michigan Constitutional Convention that resulted in our current 1963 constitution.
"The audio reels documenting Michigan’s last constitutional convention are particularly delicate, so we are thankful for the opportunity to better preserve the content through the CLIR Recordings at Risk program,” said Mark Harvey, state archivist of Michigan. “This collection highlights a pivotal time in Michigan’s history, and digital reformatting allows us to ensure the public’s future access to the convention’s audio recordings.”
In addition to the audio recordings, the Archives team will also digitize images, transcripts, and contextual items that highlight the 1961-1962 convention, which was the last time the State of Michigan completed a constitutional convention. These tapes also feature the first opportunity for women and Black delegates to take part in these conversations. The delegates’ work prompted former President Eisenhower, who opened the convention, to declare that “Michigan can lead the way.”
The collection is expected to be completed and made publicly available by August 2026 through the Archives of Michigan’s online portal, Michiganology, which will widely increase the accessibility of the files to the public. The release of the collection couldn’t come at a better time as Michiganders will be able to vote on whether Michigan’s constitution needs to be revised on the 2026 ballot.
