Received another email from the Idaho State Historical Society this morning:


Quote:
Hi Bill,

I re-visited one of our catalogs because it was bothering me that the type of paperwork I was looking for wasn't showing up. Please excuse me, I'm new to my position and I'm learning a new system that I haven't figured out all its quirks - - this time I was able to locate a collection with the materials I was looking for. I am very sorry for the mix-up!

The box I was finally able to locate contains correspondence and additional documents regarding the 1963 Idaho Centennial Medal. One document in particular, a proposal for the medal, provides this information:

1. The project was taken over by the IHS per the Governor's request
2. The IHS chose to select a private firm (MACO), due to the firm's manufacturing reputation.

I would be delighted to pull this box for your friend, Mr. [redacted], in a visit to the archives! Is arranging a research visit something you are still interested in?



commems: If you're interested in pursuing this further, please advise via email.

On my next excursion to Boise, I'll try to make arrangements to see the contents of the box referenced by the archivist.
