The program was supplemented in each week by a visit to the currently operating King Coal Mine in Hay Gulch, near Hesperus and the old Fort Lewis. During processing, it became apparent that in the distant forgotten past someone without archival guidance had attempted to reorganize the records in the series of business correspondence. This resulted in a loss of original order for those materials which it was impossible to reconstruct. That series was left in the order in which we found it. The remaining bulk of the collection had never been processed until our project in the summer of 1998.
Some records are off-campus and require a day's advance notice.
