Historical Note
The Colorado-Wyoming Junior Academy of Science (CWJAS) was founded in 1947, and was reconstituted in its current form in 1959, as an extension of the Colorado-Wyoming Academy of Science. Since its inception, the CWJAS has given Colorado and Wyoming junior high and high school students a platform to present their scientific work, most notably through the presentation of papers at its annual conference.
Content Description
The Colorado-Wyoming Junior Academy of Science records contain correspondence, minutes, organizational publications, student papers, and Westinghouse Science Talent Search packets. The bulk of the collection consists of the student papers presented at the CWJAS annual meetings (series II).
