The records of Charles H. Hanington, president of the Denver Museum of Natural History's Board of Trustees, are contained in one 5 x 15.5 x 10-inch box and cover the period from 1928 to 1948. (The Museum is now the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.) Included in the collection are official and personal letters to and from Hanington, reports to the Board from Museum curators and directors, budget requests, autobiographical manuscripts about Hanington and others, documents pertaining to the history of Central City, Colorado, and other papers. One set of documents, from 1930, includes a letter from Jesse Figgins, Museum Director, discussing a dispute between the Museum and Harold Cook, past curator of paleontology at the Museum, over some fossil materials. Another set, from 1936, includes a letter from Hanington offering the directorship of the Museum to Alfred M. Bailey, Bailey's initial handwritten acceptance of the offer and his later typewritten formal acceptance.
