Biographical Note

James R. Fazio was a forestry professor and Associate Dean of the College of Forestry, Wildlife, and Range Sciences at the University of Idaho. Dr. Fazio was friends with author Michael Frome, was involved with the University of Idaho-Wilderness Research Center’s lecture series, was a founding member of the Idaho Trails Council, and was also involved with the Overthrust Industrial Association (OIA) of Denver, Colorado. The OIA was an organization of 36 oil and gas producers and service/supply firms founded in 1980 by Chevron, Amoco, and Champlin. In 1983, OIA funded a project to help reduce the impact of oil booms and busts on small communities in Idaho, Wyoming, and Utah. Workshops were held and draft materials were produced but not published due to another downturn of the oil market.

The James R. Fazio papers span the years 1967-1990. Included in the papers are correspondence, press releases, and other material concerning his involvement with the Wilderness Center, Idaho Trails Council, the Overthrust Industrial Association environmental education program, correspondence with author Michael Frome, publications, and his involvement in the management of Idler’s Rest trails area.

The original order was retained with all of the materials from the accessions first with the materials processed in 1990 followed by material from MA 1989-01, the material from MA 2009-35 and the materials from MA 2009-43.
