Acc0590 University of Utah College of Mines and Earth Sciences records 1927-2017 1975-2017 University of Utah. College of Mines and Earth Sciences 28.25 linear feet Throughout its history, the College of Mines and Earth Sciences has been comprised of the different departments of Fuels Engineering, Geology and Geophysics, Meteorology, Metallurgical Engineering, Metallurgy, Metallurgy and Metallurgical Engineering, Mining and Fuels Engineering, and Mining Engineering as well as the University of Utah Seismographs Stations, the Utah Commitution Center, the Utah Engineering Experiment Station, and the Utah Mining and Mineral Resources Research Institute. This collection primarily contains administrative records from the College as well as building files from the construction of the Frederick Albert Sutton Building. English Historical Note

A State School of Mines was formally established at the University of Utah in 1901. It was renamed the School of Mines and Engineering in 1913 and offered degrees in chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, and mining engineering as well as metallurgy. The college was divided into the College of Mines and Mineral Industries and the College of Engineering in 1948. The Departments of Fuels Engineering, Geology and Geophysics, and Meteorology were added to the College of Mines and Mineral Industries that same year. The College was renamed the College of Mines and Earth Sciences in 1988 as a reflection of the importance of its earth sciences components to the its educational mission.

The majority of the material in this collection covers the administrations of Deans Laurence H. Lattman (1975-1983), Milton Wadsworth (1983-1991), and Francis H. Brown (1991-2016). Administrative records consist of correspondence, meeting minutes, memoranda, and reports from the Office the Dean of the College of Mines and Earth Sciences as well as its constituent departments of Fuels Engineering, Geology and Geophysics, Meteorology, Metallugical Engineering, Metallurgy, Metallurgy and Metallurgical Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Mining and Fuels Engineering. This collection also contains records from the College's various institutes including the University of Utah Seismograph Stations, the Utah Engineering Experiment Station, and the Utah Mining and Mineral Resources Research Institute. A further 2.25 linear feet of this collection consist of records surrounding the planning and construction of the Frederick Albert Sutton Building.

The collection is arranged into the following two series: General Administrative Records and the Frederick Albert Sutton Building Files. Both series are arranged alphabetically.

Materials must be used on-site; advance notice suggested. Access to parts of this collection may be restricted under provisions of state or federal law.

This collection was culled from sixty cubic feet of material that was picked up from the College of Mines and Earth Sciences on May 19, 2023 as well as Records Center Assessions 08-354, 08-397, and 12-272.
