The Francis J. Haas papers. 1904-1953.

The materials in the Francis J. Haas Papers span Haas's life. The collection includes materials from his family, his time as a seminary student in the early 1900s, and his role as an educator and cleric from the 1920s until his death in 1953. The materials focus most heavily, however, on his role as a public servant in New Deal agencies and as a labor arbitrator in the 1930s and 1940s. Documents related to his role as an administrator at CUA and his ten years as Bishop in Grand Rapids between 1943 and 1953 are scant. The collection includes correspondence, clippings, official organizational reports, press releases, personal meeting notes, lecture notes, sermons, speeches, meeting minutes, photos, research notes, and publication materials.
