Colorado Historical Periodicals collection
Contents
The collection represents an accumulation of publications either published in Colorado or nationally that pertain to the history of the state but most often specifically to the Western Slope. Titles were acquired and specific issues kept in this collection based on their relevance to the history of the Western Slope, though they often contain articles relevant to Colorado history as a whole. Some titles that do not directly pertain to the Western Slope have been kept if they were deemed rare.

Summary
A collection of periodicals published in Colorado or containing articles about the Western Slope of Colorado.
Arrangement
The collection is arranged alphabetically by publication title and then chronologically. Publications where the title has changed over time may be listed by each individual title rather than grouped together.
Immediate Source of Acquisition
Journals in this collection were purchased by the library and transferred to Special Collections and Archives or donated by individuals or organizations.
Separated Materials
For journals not focused on the Western Slope of Colorado, issues that did not contain articles focused on the Western Slope were removed to conserve space. These journals are available in Tomlinson Library or at numerous other institutions in Colorado and the United States so were not deemed rare enough to keep all issues regardless of content.
