The Holmes Group was a consortium of 96 research universities with professional education programs founded in the mid-1980s, at a time when many schools were eliminating their schools of education. After 10 years of work, the Holmes Group became the Holmes Partnership, a consortium of research universities, public school districts, and organizations that represent professional educators. The Holmes Partnership Records contains bylaws and other records about the establishment of the Holmes Group and its eventual change to become the Holmes partnership, regional office files, records related to institution membership in the organization, committees, the Executive Board and Board of Directors, grant proposals, studies, the organisation's annual meeting, and seminars. Materials are dated 1985-1997.

The Holmes Group was a consortium of 96 research universities with professional education programs founded in the mid-1980s, at a time when many schools were eliminating their schools of education. The group published a number of reports and articles on the topic of teacher education reform, including “Tomorrow’s Teachers” (1986), “Tomorrow’s Schools” (1990), and “Tomorrow’s Schools of Education’ (1995), and “The Rise and Stall of Teacher Education Reform” (1997). The 1997 study concluded that professional education reform was so complicated that further partnership was needed. The Holmes Group became the Homes Partnership, a consortium of organizations representing professional educators, research universities, and public school districts.
