This collection comprises the records and reference files of the Michigan Aviation Historical Committee, but in reality, consists of two distinct series of documents. The first is the personal files of William E. Scripps which were compiled as a result of his active membership in the Early Birds, an organization of pioneer flyers.

These files include both published and unpublished reference sources which were acquired during the project.
