Richard B. Roeder papers, 1949-1995.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/70960248

Notes taken as a student; personal, research, and business correspondence; teaching files; subject research files; Roeder articles and papers; bibliographies; lecture and conference tapes; and all the notes, readings, correspondence, newspaper clippings, photographs, and general information associated with the 1972 constitutional convention. Roeder's interest in Montana history is reflected in his more extensive research on agriculture, early territorial history, women, homesteading, Indians, transportation, and lakes. Individuals that Roeder focused on include Thomas Carter, Grace Stone Coates, Joseph Kinsey Howard, James and Granville Stuart, Ella Knowles, and Paris Gibson (the research on Gibson is particularly voluminous). The papers also include many notes taken from Montana newspapers during the territorial and early statehood period covering such topics as Gibson, politics, and Montana's constitution. Roeder's own experience with constitutional issues from the 1970s compliments these early historical references and many of the clippings date from this period as well. Titles on the folders mostly duplicate titles used by Roeder. Papers in the original folders have generally remained under that folder's title, and as a result researchers are advised that particular subjects of interest may be found in more then one series.
