Newsletters and meeting documents are mostly original copies, not cleaned or recopied.
Description
This collection came from records handed down by past presidents of BCCA, including Jean Taylor (original editor), Kay Gushee, Steve Winter, Bret Cunningham, Mary Ellen Pugsley, and Barbara Cameron. The material is a collection of the newsletters mailed to property owners of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Newsletters were published twice each year in June and October from 1973 - 2021. They included information about such things as canyon events, elections, regulations, cultural and natural history.
