The 1983 Montana Legislative Assembly passed Senate Joint Resolution 21 recognizing the
approaching Montana Statehood Centennial and urging the governor to make recommendations to
the 1985 Legislative Assembly on formal centennial observances. In response to this
resolution, Governor Ted Schwinden appointed Lieutenant Governor George Turman to coordinate
the official response. Turman concentrated on three areas: volunteer citizen involvement,
interagency cooperation, and communication with other centennial states in the region. To
encourage citizen participation, Turman created "The Eighty-Niners", a volunteer
organization with local chapters around the state. The Eighty-Niners solicited suggestions
concerning possible celebrations, published a newsletter, and its local affiliates sponsored
many local events. The Centennial Commission sponsored several projects among which were the
issuing of special Centennial license plates to finance grants for local projects; the
Century Citizens Project, honoring Montanans who would be 100 years old by 1989; and the
Centennial Acres Project, selling certificates of "ownership" in several State Parks and
sites. The main focus of the work of the Centennial Office, however, became the licensing of
officially sanctioned products, events, and projects. The Office received 1,068 applications
for licensing, most of which were approved. These applications included museum exhibits,
musical events, parades, rodeos, plays, pageants, tree plantings, art work, books, belt
buckles, lapel pins, baseball caps, etc. Money from license plate sales funded a small
number of grants to worthy projects. The Centennial celebration's grand finale was the
Centennial Ball held in Helena November 11, 1989. The final event of the year-long
celebration was the burying of a time capsule on January 23, 1990.
Records include general correspondence (1984-1990), which is primarily outgoing
correspondence, but also includes some incoming correspondence, interoffice memoranda,
circular letters to the Centennial Commission members, and correspondence of lieutenant
governors Allen Kolstad and Gordon McOmber. The bulk of the incoming letters were filed in
the subject files. Case files include grant agreements, grant applications, and license
applications. The grant applicants also appear in the license application files, but the
numbering system is totally separate. There are indexes to all three sets of files to assist
in locating the files. Indexes to the grant agreements and grant applications are only by
number. Indexes to the license application are arranged by number, by applicant, by town,
and by type of project. Financial records (1984-1990) include budget materials, audits,
financial reports, and State Budget and Accounting System (SBAS) reports. Legal documents
consist of contracts for services (1988-1989). There is a complete set of Commission minutes
(1985-1990), including agendas, lists of license applications to be discussed, and related
material. In addition there are minutes of the Archiving Committee. [Minutes also exist on
cassette tape.] The subject file consists of relations with other states' centennial
committees, files on the Centennial Acre program, files on the design of the centennial
logo, brief biographical data on centenarians nominated as Century Citizens, writings by
Northern Cheyenne students at Dull Knife Memorial College, centennial birthday cards sent in
by school children, and files on proposed centennial events and products. Many of these last
files expand on the materials submitted with the license application. There is an extensive
clipping file, focusing primarily on the Great Montana Centennial Cattle Drive, but also
documenting a wide range of other centennial events. [Tapes of minutes, radio programs, etc.
