M001 Record Group 18 Sub-Group C--Office of Community Services
Collection Summary
Historical Note Since 1978, the Office of Community Services has helped Fort Lewis College fulfill its mission as a land grant school and to provide outreach as a regional education provider. OCS assists local communities, students, and faculty to improve academic, social, economic, and ecological well-being of the Four Corners region. The organization was tasked with providing aid on local and community issues involving, but not limited to, mine reclamation, historic preservation, fire related issues, and tourism. back to top
Arrangement The series arrangement is based on OCS projects and original order as well as attempts to create some order where none existed.back to top
Scope & Contents The Office of Community Services acted as a conduit between local and civic parties interested in preservation efforts in the Four Corners region. Much of what has been filed away within this specific collection consisted of reports, findings, briefings, proposed and finalized plans, and cost analysts. The subject matter within this collection is centered around the Four Corners region with an emphasis on the region of Southwestern Colorado. An exception is the Mirror Project which was created in order to make an account of people’s living experiences and attempts to document life in the west. Also some reports are written to describe teachers’ experiences and spans NM, UT, SD, WY, OR, NE, and OK. back to top

Series 6: The Red Mountain collection included grant applications, request to numerous foundations and federal assistance for the preservation of deteriorating mining sites. These sites are specifically located in or around the Red Mountain pass Colorado. Associations of these areas are Ouray County, San Juan County, and La Plata County.

Ken Francis has been the director of OCS and worked in partnership with Ouray County Historical Society and worked in close correspondence with senators John Mckinnis, John T. Salazaar, and Ben Nighthorse Campbell.
