http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/74666587

The collection is divided into 2 series, a general series of the Earth and Planetary Sciences Department including the meteoritics collection, under the leadership of Dr. Klaus Keil, which contains department records, agreements, reports, correspondence, awards, newspaper articles, photographs and color slides. The Harding Pegmatite series contains information and reports about the Harding pegmatite mine property which was donated to the University of New Mexico by Dr. Arthur Montgomery. The property is preserved as a mineral collecting locality as well as a unique outdoor geologic laboratory where metals and precious stones such as tantalum, rhyolite and spodumene can be found. This series is divided into two parts: One contains land titles, claim notices, mining deeds, reports and correspondence from Montgomery, field trip abstracts, photographs, slides as well as the correspondence and photos of the mine by Laura Gilpin. The other part contains data tables, maps, notebooks, and slide research from D.N. Rimal's thesis, Mineralogy of rose muscovite and lepidolite from the Harding pegmatite, Taos County, New Mexico.
