The Charles "Chuck" Morrison Photographs and Papers

An Exceptional Anchor Collection

The Charles "Chuck" Morrison Photographs and Papers is an exceptional anchor collection because it touches on so many aspects of mid-20th century Casper history: journalism, local politics, industry (oil), and major events.

College-level students (especially those in Media Communication, Strategic Communication, and History) can gain significant value by using the collection available through the Casper College Western History Center to corroborate, contextualize, and expand upon the materials in it.

Archival Description Notes

The entire structure of the finding aid is an application of DACS, but several key principles stand out:

  1. The Principle of Provenance (The Creator and Context)
  2. Archival Description Expresses Professional Ethics and Values
  3. Archival Description is Multi-Level
  4. Records, Agents, Activities, and the Relationships Among Them are the Four Fundamental Concepts
