History

Women first competed in the league in 1896. On March 20, 1941, the Women’s Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association was formed. During the 1978-1979 season the WMIAA and the MIAA were brought under single governance.

Scope and Content

The records of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) consist of materials from 1913 to the present that document the activities of the oldest existing collegiate athletic conference in the United States.

The record group contains folders divided into five subgroups, Administration, Competition, Centennial, Objects, Oversized, and Restricted.

The Administration subgroup (15.50 linear ft.) consists of records from 1913 to 2002 that document the administrative activities of the organization. Materials include minutes, correspondence, constitutions and by-laws, reports and manuals. The subgroup is arranged alphabetically by topical folder headings.

This subgroup forms the core of the collection and the researcher will find rich sources of information in the correspondence and minutes folders. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) materials document to a limited degree the relationship between a regional and a national athletic association. The NCAA reports illustrate some of the issues that have been faced by college sports.

One major subject represented in this section is women’s participation in college sports. Information on this will be found in Athletic Director’s meeting minutes, correspondence (mostly late 1970s), NCAA reports, and the constitution of the Women’s Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (WMIAA). One weakness of the collection is how few WMIAA materials it contains. Another interesting subject is the wide variety of eligibility questions that have arisen over the years that are primarily documented in the correspondence files. The Eligibility Study Statistics folder is RESTRICTED due to the presence of student grade point averages. Also of interest is a 1922 letter signed by Charles Comiskey on 1917 World Champions Chicago White Sox letterhead.

The Competition (3.50 linear ft.) subgroup contains documents from 1924 to 2004 that are directly related to athletic competition in the Association, covering a variety of sports. Included are the MIAA publication Fact Finders, statistics, press kits, programs, and handbooks. The folders are arranged alphabetically by sport.

The Centennial (0.75 linear ft.) subgroup documents activities recognizing the centennial anniversary of the MIAA in 1987. The bulk of the materials cover the time span 1985 to 1987, with a few photographs that predate the rest of the documents. Materials include photographs, programs, videocassettes, minutes, correspondence, logos, and a press kit. The two major topics of this subgroup are the anniversary banquet and the book Celebrating a Century of the Student Athlete. Folders have been arranged alphabetically by topical headings.

Most of the photographs are reproductions of earlier originals and have been arranged in the page order in which they appear in the book. The photos have been described through the following characteristics: page number; subject; school(s); sport(s), if not obvious from the subject; and the date. Occasionally a parenthetical note has been added at the end with additional information. Nine of the photographs that appear in the book do not have images in this collection, they are as follows:
96; Rudy Vlaardingerbroek; Calvin
98; Jare Klein; Olivet
99; Mark Veenstra; Calvin 101; Doug Diekema; Calvin 102; John Brink; Calvin 103; Doug DeSmit; Calvin 103; Leah Calsbeek; Calvin 105; Russ DeVette and Gordon Brewer; Hope 107; Marv Zuidema, Calvin The Objects (1.50 linear ft.) subgroup includes t-shirts, mini-football, patch, awards, and medals commemorating important events or games in the association’s history. The Restricted subgroup (0.25 linear ft.) contains records restricted to the public for research. The Oversized subgroup is located in the Hope College Non-Photographic Media cabinet. The Hope College Collection contains biographical materials Hope faculty and staff that have been active in the MIAA. In addition, files on the following MIAA people are included in the Biographical Files of the Hope College Collection: Dempsey, Cedric Container List Box 1 ADMINISTRATION Ad Hoc Committee Proposal for Changes, c. 2000 Annual Report, 1966 Archival Collection, 1992 Articles of Incorporation, 1986 Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women - Eligibility Forms, n. d.
