Introduction/ Scope and contents

Printed materials pertaining to political campaigns in Southwest Colorado and the Four Corners area, representing all levels of government. Includes posters, brochures, leaflets, ephemera, bumper stickers, and other campaign materials. These printed materials pertain to Durango (Colorado) and its immediate locality -- the Colorado portion of the Four Corners region -- and all elections in which citizens of La Plata County participate.

At the right is a photo of U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy on the campus of Fort Lewis College in Durango on Saturday, June 18, 1960 to woo (in the words of LeRoy Goodwin, FLC's PR Director at the time) delegates at the Colorado State Democratic Party convention being held in the gymnasium, now the swimming pool (FLC's natatorium).

Administrative information

Arrangement note: The series (various elected offices and issues being voted on) are numbered consecutively. The organization of the series proceeds from the local level (Durango elections) to national (U.S. Presidential campaigns). Because we expect to add to this collection, we have not numbered the folders or the boxes. Items within each series are arranged chronologically.

Acquisition information: The collection has grown through numerous accessions received from Duane Smith and many others, and much of it from free distribution of the materials.

Processing information: The collection was initially arranged into files primarily by year by a SW Library work-study student in 12/1994 under the direction of Center secretary Catherine Conrad, and was subsequently processed at the Center of Southwest Studies by Todd Ellison and numerous assistants including Bret Connor, student archival assistant, in 2000. Data entry of the Colorado business cards was courtesy of Megan Martin in June, 2004. Volunteer Bruce Howard brought the arrangement and description up to date in the fall of 2007 and Renee Morgan typed the folder list and assisted Ellison with the updated inventory in November, 2007.
