- Description:
- In an oral history interview, Ed Barton, volunteer curator of the "Changing Men Collection" in the Michigan State University Libraries' Special Collections unit, talks about the history and development of the collection and the men's movement itself. Barton says that the collection began with a donation facilitated by MSU Professor Bruce Curtis and has continued to grow robustly based upon Barton's support and active gathering of conference materials. Barton also outlines the core tenets of the different branches of the men's movement and says that his own involvement in the movement has helped him develop the collection.
