Publications with Theis' annotations,, 1950-1959

 File — Box: 23, Folder: 14

Scope and Content

From the Collection: The C. V. Theis papers contain reports, manuscripts, correspondence, notebooks, journals, publications, lecture notes, and research files pertaining to Theis' wide-ranging work in hydrogeology. The collection is arranged in four series: I. Office files, II. State files, III. Charts, tables and worksheets, IV. Personal papers. Included in the collection are research materials and reports pertaining to ground-water supply, water quality, geological surveys, waste disposal, and petroleum reserves. Many of the research notes and reports are filed under the name of the state in which the work was done. Also included are records of Theis' activities in professional associations and on national committees such as the National Academy of Sciences Committee on Geologic Aspects of Radioactive Waste Disposal.

The organization of the collection is based on a filing system, which actually included at least 3 separate systems, used by Theis' office and modified over the years. File numbers assigned to the original folders are indicated before the folder title on the contents list. Theis had set up handwritten ad hoc categories in his last years, which are indicated by [CVT] on the contents list. Alfred Clebsch of the U.S.G.S. inventoried, screened, and organized the Theis files and set up additional categories to accommodate loose, un-filed papers, before the collection was donated to UNM in June 1988. These folders are marked [AC] on the contents list.
