The records of the Michigan Dietetic Association include scrapbooks, Executive Board minutes, bulletins, convention reports, information chronicling the history of the organization, and American Dietetic Association literature pertaining to the Michigan Dietetic Association and the field of dietetics in general.

Items of special interest in this collection are the seven scrapbooks which broadly portray the history of the Michigan Dietetic Association using photographs, news clippings, and copies of The Bulletin, the official newsletter of the organization.

Board meeting minutes and convention reports reveal the planning behind many special activities of the Michigan Dietetic Association. Cassette recordings of the April 1974 Board meeting include a discussion of the classification of dietitians at different levels as recommended and later implemented by the American Dietetic Association.
