Clippings
Scope and Contents
Records include general correspondence (1984-1990), which is primarily outgoing correspondence, but also includes some incoming correspondence, interoffice memoranda, circular letters to the Centennial Commission members, and correspondence of lieutenant governors Allen Kolstad and Gordon McOmber. The bulk of the incoming letters were filed in the subject files. Case files include grant agreements, grant applications, and license applications. The grant applicants also appear in the license application files, but the numbering system is totally separate. There are indexes to all three sets of files to assist in locating the files. Indexes to the grant agreements and grant applications are only by number. Indexes to the license application are arranged by number, by applicant, by town, and by type of project. Financial records (1984-1990) include budget materials, audits, financial reports, and State Budget and Accounting System (SBAS) reports. Legal documents consist of contracts for services (1988-1989). There is a complete set of Commission minutes (1985-1990), including agendas, lists of license applications to be discussed, and related material. In addition there are minutes of the Archiving Committee. [Minutes also exist on cassette tape.] The subject file consists of relations with other states' centennial committees, files on the Centennial Acre program, files on the design of the centennial logo, brief biographical data on centenarians nominated as Century Citizens, writings by Northern Cheyenne students at Dull Knife Memorial College, centennial birthday cards sent in by school children, and files on proposed centennial events and products. Many of these last files expand on the materials submitted with the license application. There is an extensive clipping file, focusing primarily on the Great Montana Centennial Cattle Drive, but also documenting a wide range of other centennial events.
