The collection was in the possession of its creator until its transfer to Archives and Special Collections.

No future additions are expected.

This collection was received by the Archives in 1972. Prior to 1996, materials relating to Tascher’s book, Maggie and Montana: The Story of Maggie Smith Hathaway, were removed and processed as the Maggie Smith Hathaway Collection (Mss 224). In 2025, the remaining collection materials were processed. At that time, the Build Freedom with Youth Contest Reports from Montana were removed and processed into their own collection (Mss 1020).
