Introduction/ Scope and contents

Years this material was created: 1959-1983  (bulk years: 1970-1988)

Quantity: 14 linear shelf feet (in 26 document cases, plus 2 folders in oversize flat file case drawer 3:38)

This is a collection of materials regarding uranium mining, compiled and/or created by Langan Swent (1916-1992). Some of these records relate to the Homestake Mining Company (Golden, Colorado).  These records include public relations publications on the history of Homestake Mining Company, employee handbooks, and company financial statements.  A large portion of this collection pertains to issues of health and safety in underground mines.  The health and safety issues include morbidity and mortality studies of underground miners and their incident of cancer or other illnesses associated with long term exposure to radiation.  Employees of Homestake Mining Company were the primary subjects in these studies.  Also included are the rules proposed in the 1980's by OSHA and MSHA for limiting exposure to radiation and asbestos and the mining industry's response to these proposed rules.  Approximately one third of this collection consists of print materials related to uranium mining and energy issues.  These materials include publications from the Atomic Energy Commission, annual reports from the states of Colorado and New Mexico on the annual inspection of mines, presentations from the Second International Mine Ventilation Congress in November 1979, and numerous other articles and reports printed between 1931 and 1990.

Administrative information

Acquisition of this collection:  These materials were donated by the generous gift of Mrs. Langan W. (Eleanor H.) Swent in November of 2005 (accession number 2006:038.001).  The Southwest Accessions Committee approved the acquisition that same month.  (The photo below shows the collection prior to processing.)

About the organization of this collection:  The series and boxes are numbered consecutively.  Because we do not expect to add to this collection, the boxes are numbered in one single numbering scheme starting with 1.

Processing information:  This collection was arranged and described by Assistant Fort Lewis College Archivist Diana Novara in the summer of  2006, through gracious funding from the donor of this collection.  The inventory was prepared by Novara and Fort Lewis College archivist Todd Ellison in August, 2006.  Seven  telephone directories of Grants - Anaconda - Bluewater - Milan - San Rafael, New Mexico, 1957-1965, were placed in the Southwest telephone directories collection at the Center.

A related collection not at the Southwest Studies Center:  In his capacity as Vice President for Environmental, Health and Safety, and Governmental Affairs for Homestake Mining, Mr. Swent traveled to Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Canada, South Africa, etc., to obtain information on health and safety in uranium mines.  Most of the materials on that phase of his career were acquired by Dr. Douglas Chambers, Senes Consultants, Ltd., 121 Granton Drive, Unit 12, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada UB3N4  Telephone: (416) 764-9380.
