This collection largely documents Swaine's political career in Marquette, Michigan. The collection contains minutes, agendas, correspondence, and numerous reports. Of particular note to the researcher are the records related to Swaine's tenure as a board member with the Marquette Board of Light and Power and as a city commissioner with the Marquette City Commission. The collection also includes material on the Economic Development Corporation. These papers cover the years 1975 to 1989. The second accession to this documents Howard Swaine's activities at Northern Michigan University (in Marquette, Michigan) and various university committees, including the Center for Community Advisory Services and the Library Advisory Commitee. In particular, the bulk of this accession documents Swaine's role as chair of the Taskforce on Academic Governance. Former University President John Jamrich established the Taskforce in 1969 in response to the McClellan controversy and faculty demands for a greater role in the governance of the University. Records include correspondence, reports, memorandum, various reference material, meeting minutes. These papers cover the years from 1969 to 1975.
