Colorado State Government History
Colorado's original constitution was handwritten by Fred J. Stanton, the engrossing andenrollingclerk for the constitutional convention. A copy was then penned from the original by the assistantengrossing and enrolling clerk, W.A. Salisbury. On July 25, 1876, Governor Routt dispatched hissecretary, John N. Reigart, to Washington, D.C. with the copy of the constitution along withcertifiedordinances, votes and proclamations. President Grant declared Colorado a state on August 1,1876 andit became known as the "Centennial State." Since then, the constitution has been the foundationof theState's government and the citizen's freedom. Colorado's constitution today remains very similarto theoriginal constitution conceived for statehood in 1876. The original is preserved in the ColoradoStateArchives. A printed copy of the 1876 State Constitution may be viewed in pdf format on this website. ... [Read More]

Clarence Morley
Included in this series is incoming correspondence with Governor Morley from hisconstituents, state agencies, and other public officials. There is importantcorrespondence concerning pending legislation, civil service, Prohibition, and the 50thAnniversary of Colorado's statehood. Noteworthy correspondents include KKK member and U.S.Senator Rice W. Means, Benjamin F. Stapleton, and University of Colorado officials withwhom Morley fought for political control. ... Morley’s administration was exemplified, however, by a growing dichotomy in theRepublican Party. There was also considerable opposition from a small group of democrats,led by future governor Billy Adams, that successfully killed almost all Klan sponsoredlegislation in committee. In 101 days 1,080 bills were introduced under the statehousedome. Of those bills, only fifteen percent made it as far as the governor’s pen andonly three of those were originally sponsored by Morley. Despite his apparent lack oflegislative success, Morley was responsible for ratifying the Colorado River Compact,strengthening prohibition laws, developing a successful inmate labor program, andpromoting legislation that allowed the state to carry its own insurance on its publicbuildings. Thus, while Morley was an active Klansman, his legislative successes had littleto do with his special interest group affiliations. His connections to the Klan alsofailed to make him popular with many Colorado citizens wh ... [Read More]

Although many agency records personnel may know implicitly which of theirsystems hold records of long-term value, the Colorado State Archives &Public Records Act (CRS 24-80-101-111) requires state and local governmentagencies to consult and work with the State Archives staff both to identifyrecords of long-term legal value, and to establish disposition schedules for alltheir records, whether they be on paper or in an automated system. ... State and local government agencies are now using automated/electronicinformation systems to create, capture, publish and maintain public records.Many of these records, because they will have long-tern use or enduring legalvalue, must remain accessible over time. Some will be needed to continuecritical government operations (i.e. vital statistics registrations), some todocument programs (i.e. public education initiatives), and some to provide legalevidence of the government’s actions (i.e. adjudication of water rights). ...
