CMC Miscellaneous Correspondence, 1975-1996
Physical Location:  Box 14
Record Series Value (High, Medium, Low):  Estimated as Low-Medium
Record Series Description:  As part of operations, individuals and organizations contact CMC to obtain information.  This would include information about the club, hiking, trails, buying CMC items, and other miscellaneous things.  CMC officers, primarily the club secretary, would respond.  Folders were created that contained this type of correspondence.  Some of these folders are large, especially in the 1960’s and 1970s.  There are few folders of this type prior to 1968 in the CMC collection.  This may indicate that Jerome Dykeman, in compiling the CMC history in the 1950’s and 1960s, considered these records as not essential and discarded them.  Summary of records:
