The Cranbrook Skating Club Records provide for unique research of one aspect in the history of Cranbrook School.

SERIES I: History (1953-1957; n.d.) briefly documents the initial planning and dedication of the Cranbrook Skating Rink. Included here are three newspaper clippings, a pamphlet entitled "Why a Skating Rink at Cranbrook?" produced by the Friends of Cranbrook, and a copy of a report of the "Cranbrook Arena Committee Position Statement."

SERIES II: Administrative (1952-1982) consists of correspondence and minutes. The correspondence is the central focus of the Skating Club Records. Here researchers can see the development of the skating rink over the course of the planning and building stages. Also within this series are the minutes of meetings of the Skating Club. Of interest in the minutes are various programs designed to draw users to the skating rink during the 1970s. There is also a proposal for the skating rink and attached buildings to be enclosed. SERIES III: Financial Summaries (1957-1982) contains receipts and statements. These two areas document the building payments and subsequent operational expenditures over the course of the history of the Skating Club. SERIES IV: Topical files (1956-1980) is comprised of insurance Information, and rink operations. The rink operations contains equipment pamphlets, and specifications for various physical parts of the skating rink. SERIES V: Visual Materials (1983; n.d.) consists of three undated photographs of skating rinks, not identified as the Cranbrook's actual Skating Rink design, and slides of the 1983 construction of the ice arena. SERIES VI: Architectural and Mechanical Drawings (1953-1959) consists of non-original renderings. The reproductions document different plans for the skating rink, by various contractors, including plans for comparable facilities located elsewhere.
