M.L. Michael Kay Papers, 1955-2000

Micheal Kay

The papers of Dr. M.L. Michael Kay document his professional career as a historian, from his early years at San Jose State College to his more-than twenty-five years at the University of Toledo. Included are many published works researched and written by Dr. Kay, including extensive files on the collaborative research of Dr. Kay and Dr. Lorin Cary, also of the UT Department of History. Correspondence with friends, colleagues, publishers, and research institutions follow. A large part of the collection consists of exams, lecture notes, and readings for at least four of the courses Dr. Kay taught at UT. Materials from the Faculty Senate and the teachers unions in which Dr. Kay was involved comprise the next series, followed by legal documentation of a case filed while he was a professor at West Chester State College. Miscellaneous materials that do not pertain largely to any other category include mailing lists and personal documents. Personnel records illustrate Dr. Kay’s efforts at obtaining promotion, and include sabbatical leave requests, certificates of appointment, research grant requests, and salary recommendations, as well as his curriculum vitae. Finally, there are a few folders of published material not authored by Dr. Kay and include newspaper clippings, magazine articles, off prints of essays, and newsletters.
