The materials document the life, growth and death of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, a giant steel and mining corporation that played a very important role in the industrialization of the Rocky Mountain West. Faced with this mountain of business records, the newly hired archivists of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company needed to come up with an appraisal strategy. A combination of literature review, consultation with industry and business archives specialists, and perseverance yielded a workable methodology which enabled them to reduce the collection to a more manageable size without sacrificing the content of the collection.

Examples from Center for Colorado & the West at Auraria Library (University of Colorado Denver) and the Southern Colorado Ethnic Heritage and Diversity Archives and the Voices of Protest Oral History Project (Colorado State University-Pueblo) illustrate collection development practices that advance joint ownership of archival materials by the archives and the originating cultural population. Concluding reflections offer transferable principles for working collaboratively with cultural communities on creation, identification, interpretation, and preservation of photographs, videos, documents, oral histories and ephemeral material reflective of culture, achievements, conflict, and legacy.
