ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The compilation of any comprehensive bibliographic study is best approached as a cooperative undertaking utilizing the skill and labor of many persons. This study is no exception. A great deal of appre­ ciation is felt for the librarians who over the years have maintained state documents in the Montana Historical Society Library in Helena, the University of Montana Library in Missoula, and the Montana State University Library in Bozeman. This compilation would have been very much more difficult had they not performed their work so well. It would not exist at all but for the inspiration and encouragement of Dr. K. Ross Toole, Professor of History at the University of Montana in Missoula. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. INTRODUCTION Purpose and Methodology This paper has two primary purposes. First, it traces the develop­ ment of the numerous agencies of Montana state government, and second, it lists as completely as possible at this time the official publica­ tions of those agencies. It is hoped that this might be used as a beginning toward the efficient management of the printed archives of the state of Montana. The design is not intended to follow library precepts; rather, it is structured to reflect accurately what agencies existed and what publi- i cations they produced. The organizational format is aimed at providing a suggested classification scheme usable in establishing separate col­ lections of Montana state documents outside the library Dewey decimal system. The larger purpose of this listing will be realized if persons using it will make note of publications not included that come to their attention and insert bibliographic annotations in their copy or send the information to the State Archivist at the Montana Historical Society in Helena, Montana. In this way, the goal of gaining bibliographic con- i trol of Montana’s state documents may eventually be reached. i Foundations for this study were formed while serving as Archivist- I Intern at the Montana Historical Society in Helena, Montana. Early in I 1968 it was decided to establish a separate collection of Montana state I documents. This was to be in addition to those cataloged according to Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. the Dewey decimal system in the library's "Montana Collection." An inventory of cataloged documents was made with information for each separate item being carded and filed according to its provenance. Each series was given the same attention with an additional step being the creation of checklists showing the nnmber and date of each issue within the series. Systematic collection arrangement required a knowledge of the correct name, history and organization of Montana state agencies. This information was then gathered by an exhaustive search of the whole of the Laws of Montana, the Constitution of the State of Montana, all codifications of IVbntana statutes, publications of the agencies and pertinent references listed in the bibliography. This study should therefore delineate with a high percentage of completeness all the offices and agencies that were created during the course of territorial and state government until March, I97O. Criterion for inclusion as a "State agency" is any state office, officer, department, division, board, bureau, commission and all sub-divisions of each. Historical data for the various agencies is designed to show the dates they operated, the method of creation, membership, purposes, con­ trolling code provisions, and the reason for its demise if applicable. The original statutory titles of most Montana state agencies begin with the word board, bureau, commission, department or division. Pre­ ceding that the word "State" usually appears. Alphabetical arrangement under such names would have been unrealistic as the designating or key word would be buried out of easy sight. Agency titles in this study are Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. inverted and alphabetized according to the most significant or descrip­ tive word. Ample cross-references are provided from variations of names so that the text should serve as its own agency index. Divisions are arranged alphabetically under their parent agency according to legal alignment. Blank lines in the division entries are intended to indicate the "stair-step" relationship to the controlling agency. This may not be adaptable to a documents classification system in view of the lengthy and complicated numbering devices that would be required; however, legal relationships are retained in this study for purposes of continuity and to retain cohesion of the body of work per­ formed by state agencies. Bibliographical mechanics and arrangement were modified to best suit the purposes outlined earlier. Librarians will immediately notice the absence of form entries such as "Laws and Statutes." Constitutional conventions and constitutions and a grouping of all state agencies in one section make up the two major divisions in the list. Originally, a third section entitled "Collected Documents" listed the contents of a five volume collection of IVbntana documents. Published under the auspices of the National Association of State Libraries as part of a "Collected Public Documents of the States" project, these volumes contain 101 separate published^reports of Montana state officers, boards, I and institutions for the years|l8gg to 1896. The listing required several I pages and failed to yield useful information; therefore, that section was omitted. i Constitutions and constitutional conventions are discussed inform­ ally as to background, followed by a listing of the various published S Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. issues of the Constitution of the State of Montana. Arrangement under the office of Secretary of State would have been justifiable; however, the peculiar nature of constitutional conventions caused their sépara- I tion. All state agencies found to exist from l86 k to March, I97O, are grouped into the second division. Historical entries, as discussed earlier, are followed by a listing of agency publications. The report of each governmental unit is listed first followed by the other serial publications in alphabetical order. Catalog statistics concerning fre­ quency, title changes, unpublished issues, predecessors or successors and other useful information are included. Serials other than

  • Bannack State Park Dillon, Montana Loss Event: Flash Flood C a S E S T U D Y
    Bannack State Park Dillon, Montana Loss Event: Flash Flood C A S E S T U D Y In July, Montana’s first territorial capitol (and one of the most visited state parks), Bannack State Park, was inundated with water, mud, rocks, and artifacts from a flash flood. Most of the 80 historic structures were damaged and it was thought by some that the park would never recover. Within 48 hours, BELFOR was on site with incident management personnel, equipment, and restoration workers to assess the damage and begin the recovery process. Through pre-established disaster recovery contracts with BELFOR, the work was completed in just six weeks (well before the winter freeze). The magnitude of the loss, the historic nature of the properties, and the efficiency in which the park was restored garnered positive statewide attention from all major media sources, elected officials, and members of the Montana legislature. Montana Governor Steve Bullock cited BELFOR’s expertise and the cooperative efforts of the Department(s) of Administration, Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, and BELFOR as an example of “Montanan’s coming together during time of crisis.” The scope of the recovery work included: • Removal of debris, mud and rubble from buildings, roads and parking lots. • Water extraction and structural drying of the Post Office, Graves House, State House, hotels and other park buildings. • Structural inspections of park buildings. • Completely rebuilt Assay Office building from pieces recovered downstream. • Repaired and rebuilt bridges, boardwalks and fences. • Cleaned and repaired an aqueduct/flume. “We were completely blown away at how • Worked with archaeologists to find and preserve historic artifacts.
