Acquisition

The Colorado Water Conservation Board Papers of Herbert Vandemoer was acquired by the Colorado Water Resources Research Institute in fall 1996. The Colorado State University Water Resources Archive acquired the collection in July 2001. A small amount of additional materials (accession 2003024) was donated by Herbert Vandemoer in July 2003.

Processing

Processing completed in August 2001 included removal and disposal of duplicate documents and publications beyond the second copy as well as blank notepaper. Subject files which were in boxes with the publications and reports were separated and made into a new series. Several items were placed in acid free folders and the collection was reboxed. The July 2003 accession was processed and incorporated into the collection in January 2004.
