B&C Donates Historic Collection to UM

The Boone and Crockett Club has donated its historic files, letters and photographs to the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library at the University of Montana. UM archivist Donna McCrea said the University library has sought the prestigious collection since the Boone and Crockett Club moved its headquarters…

from Virginia to Missoula in 1993. “This is a collection of national significance, and we’re proud the club chose to place their records at UM,” McCrea said. According to Boone and Crockett historian Leonard Wurman, UM was chosen after the club researched a number of nationally known archival institutions.
