Series II: Conference Materials, 1983-2017, 1.0 linear foot

Series III: Newsletters, 1983-2017, 0.2 linear feet

Custodial History

These materials were held by board members of the Montana Gerontology Society until their donation to the Archives.

Acquisition Information

Mindy Renfro, former president of the Montana Gerontology Society, donated the bulk of the collection to archives on January 8, 2015. Additional materials were donated by Gayle Hudgins in December 2018.

Processing Note

This collection was partially processed in 2016. The original processor disassembled materials housed in binders and grouped similar items together into new folders. The folder titles and folder organization of the initially processed materials were maintained in the final processing of the collection. Duplicates and unrelated materials were removed from the collection during processing. In 2025, subseries were removed. These subseries were used to organize digitized material that duplicated items in the physical collection.
