Scope and Contents

From the Record Group:

Records of the Thailand Project include a large amount of correspondence between alumni, professors, and education officials in Thailand with administrators and members of the "back-up" team at Michigan State University, as well as some from various American and international agencies connected with the project. Records document the development of the three-party contract to begin the project; and preliminary, official University, consultant, and miscellaneous reports document the progress of the project and the individual assessments of short-term professors involved in Thailand. Also included are records of Thai educational organizations, including the National Educational Council, the Educational Planning Office, and the University Development Commission. Records also detail programs and schedules of visiting groups of Thai educations in the United States and of receptions and visits of MSU educators in Thailand, as well as extensive biographical information on many Americans and Thais involved with the Project. Records detail seven planning and assessment conferences in Thailand; publications of Thai and American participants; information on similar projects conducted by the University of Indiana and Stanford University; preliminary planning; and salary, budget, and account records of the Project.
