History:

Mr. Paul Steed was a member of the Archaeological Society of New Mexico Rock Art Survey field school in Chaco Canyon from 1975-1981. In 1995, after a Field School reunion organized by Mr. Steed and held in the campground at Chaco, Mr. Steed donated a collection of slides and prints relating to the field school to the Chaco Archive. The slides were numbered as part of the slide collection, #5685-6207, and stored in slide album 9. They were lot cataloged (CHCU 52119), originally as part of the Chaco Project records. These slides have now been intellectually assigned to this collection but are still stored with the slide collection.
