The Center was consolidated with the Division of Institutional Services in April of 1978 and renamed the Bureau of University and Regional Services, which eventually became the Office of Research & Sponsored Programs. The United States Office of Economic Opportunity provided a $100,000 grant to launch Project Newgate at the Summit Youth Correctional Institution and the Federal Youth Center near Ashland, Kentucky in the spring of 1969. The Personal Development Institute was the recipient of the bulk of the grant Morehead State received.

The collection contains the office files of Mignon Doran, the coordinator of the Personal Development Institute and wife of university President Adron Doran, on Project Newgate which date to 1976. The files include research materials and studies on prisoner rehabilitation, adult education and documentation on programs, activities and events associated with the Personal Development Institute and the two correction facilities.
