INTRODUCTION
In November 1976, Professor Eric Thuma presented to President Ford a four-hour radio documentary on the election campaign which he produced while on the faculty of Oakland Community College. Entitled The Making of the President in the Bi-Centennial Year, the documentary was received by the White House and acknowledged by the President in a letter addressed to Professor Thuma in January, 1977. Those tapes were subsequently sent to Ann Arbor for inclusion in the future Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library.
Accession 2005-NLF-044 contains a hard copy of the radio documentary script, 35mm color slides of the 1976 and 1980 campaigns and pictures related to President Ford’s public career. Also included is a CD Rom version of the transcript and a CD Rom containing copies of the pictures taken during the 1976 campaign used in the transcript. Some of the slides used in the transcript were pictures taken from the internet. Also included is a still photograph of President Ford and Professor Thuma which appeared in the Detroit Free Press.
Early in his career at Oakland Community College, Professor Thuma took over a 15- minute radio series, Outlook Education, devoted to the events and personalities at the college. In the next few years the show expanded to half and hour, and later to an hour, and , known as Epilogue 1, became devoted to a survey of the media, creative arts, politics and the human condition.—anything of interest to Thuma requiring him to obtain audio and later, when the format was adapted to fit the requirements of cable television, visual materials for the classes he taught. The show had a very small audience as it aired between 5:00-7:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings. Accession 2005-NLF-044 includes interviews developed for this show in a Word document on a second CD Rom entitled The Epilogue Conversations.
At the time of donation the bulk of this collection – nearly 200 35 mm slides – was housed in two slideshow carousels which were labeled “1976 Presidential Campaign Slides” and “1980 Political Campaign, GOP Convention, July 1980, Detroit, Michigan.” The original order of these slides has been preserved through their identification numbers; viewing them chronologically reveals their original arrangement. [See the Series Descriptions and Inventory List on pages 19-27 of this document]. Most slides are stamped with a date, which is found in parentheses following the description. These dates can be used as a general guideline but not as an exact date as the slides were stamped at the time of development, and do not reflect the date the image was photographed.
The above-mentioned Inventory List provides only cursory descriptions. What follows in pages 4-18 of this document is a Finding Aid in which the items have been grouped by subject by the processing archivist. Some specific events have been identified while other topics remain generalized, based on their subject or the featured individual. The selected major topics include:
• 10/10/1975: President’s 20th Press Conference, Detroit, MI • 10/10/1975: Michigan Republicans Salute the President Dinner, Detroit, MI
- 3 -
• 09/15/1976: General Campaign Kickoff at Crisler Arena, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI • 11/1/1976: GRF’s Remarks Upon Arriving in Detroit, MI • 7/18-19/1980: Republican National Convention, Detroit, MI
In addition to Gerald and Betty Ford such prominent individuals as Nelson Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush., and various Michigan politicians are featured in the slides. For description brevity, the names Gerald R. Ford and Betty Ford have been abbreviated to “GRF” and “EBF,” respectively.
Appended to this document is a 7-page electronic records finding aid for the two DVDs contained in the collection.
