Samuel S.M. Chan Papers, 1962-1988

The papers were in no order when received. Due to the diversity of the papers and the fact than most material was unfoldered with little or no identification, all material was placed in one alphabetical sequence. The charts and graphs section also contains FORTRAN coding sheets and other calculations. Only a few of the many articles authored by Dr. Chan are in this collection. The photographs include a set of illustrations for an unidentified thesis and one picture, presumed to be Dr. Chan, dating from the 1970s. The university material includes departmental memos, correspondence with asian graduate students planning to study mining at the UI, and correspondence concerning Polish professor Rymon-Lipinski's post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Idaho.

Books and other published material were sent to the subject librarians for review, and duplicates of mimeographed material were discarded. In this way the collection was reduced by one cubic foot.
