History

The Rocky Mountain Chapter of the National Agri-Marketing Association was formed in 1967 and successfully petitioned for chapterhood during 1975. The National Agri-Marketing Association was founded as a forum for people engaged in sales and marketing of agricultural products and services. Through sharing new ideas, networking with colleagues and customers, and gaining exposure and recognition for those who have excelled in the agricultural industry, the organization promoted the agricultural community. Although the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the National Agri-Marketing Association was fairly active during the 1970s, meetings have not been held since 1980.

Scope and Contents

The Records of the National Agri-Marketing Association, Rocky Mountain Chapter, consists of documents dated 1967 to 1978. Materials included are correspondence, news releases, photos, newsletters, awards information, membership documents, financial papers, and a scrapbook that memorializes the beginnings of the local chapter. Though this collection may include most of the elements found in other like organizations, its content lacks consistency, often offering only one or two documents per folder to represent the eleven years of the history of the organization.

Acquisition

The Records of the National Agri-Marketing Association, Rocky Mountain Chapter, was acquired by the Colorado Agricultural Archive in 1981. The collection was transferred to the Colorado State University Libraries in February 2004 as part of the Colorado Agricultural Archive.

Processing

Processing was completed in March 2005 and included removal of all metal paper clips and staples. The only items not retained in the collection were duplicated documents or articles that had no relevancy to the organization's operations. Special attention was given to a scrapbook which included photographs and newspaper clippings. The decision was made to keep the scrapbook intact, so measures were taken to minimize further deterioration by placing acid-free paper between the pages. The collection was then placed in acid-free folders and boxes.
