Warner and Ida C. Brown Ann Arbor 1963 Composition and Lithoprinted by BRAUN -BRUM FIELD, Inc. Ann Arbor, Michigan Oil.. Ill* H INTRODUCTION The Michigan Historical Collections are a special library of The University of Michigan, con- taining the archives of the University and papers of individuals and organizations throughout Michi- gan. In the beginning there were two different projects. One, begun by Professor Lewis G. Vander Velde in 1934, was a program of collecting manuscript and printed materials relating to Michigan history, primarily for the use of graduate students in his seminar. The other program concerned the collecting and preservation of records of the University. To accomplish this purpose, President Alexander G. Ruthven appointed The Committee on University Archives, of which Professor Vander Velde was the secretary. Firmly convinced that a comprehen- sive collection of manuscripts dealing with the history of the University and the State would be use- ful for students and scholars, he began a vigorous campaign of letter writing and personal visits. Housed for a time in a room in the Clements Library, in 1938, needing more space, the papers were moved into the newly opened Rackham Building. In the same year the Regents established the Michigan Historical Collections and appointed Professor Vander Velde the Director.

    r--------------,----------- Gini Wisner Collection Description The Gini Wisner Collection was developed by Virginia Crissey Wisner, 1928-2003, of Bellevue, King County, Washington. She descends from the immigrant, Jacob Crissey, born in Germany in 1710. The collection consists of 19 ring binder notebooks, each devoted to a single family line or to several collateral families. To make the information within the collection more accessible to researchers, the notebooks have been given volume numbers in addition to the original titles provided by Wisner. The volumes are labeled 1-19 and retain Ginny WISNER's titles. The notebooks are well organized, with most photocopies of original records placed in archival sleeves. They contain census records, wills, deeds, marriage and death certificates and family photographs of later generations. Some sections contain a copy of Wisner's own manuscript on that individual or family. Virginia Beatrice Crissey Wisner, Biography Virginia Beatrice Crissey was born 8 March, 1928 to Cecil Ray Crissey and Kitty Dimmick who had married 9 October, 1925 in the Presbyterian Church in Albany, NY, her second marriage. Ginny has written a 26-page biography of her family that appears in the first volume of the collection. Ginny was the middle of three sisters: Allene Ray, born June 1921 married Dick GRIMM; Virginia, 8 March 1928, died 5 June 2003, married Robert G. WISNER Eunice Cecile, born 28 February 1930, married Bill KELLEY. Virginia's husband Robert G. Wisner, born 22 May 1924, died 14 May 2002, was a geologist and engineer for Boeing.
