RESTRICTED, and permission of the Head of Archives and Special Collections is required for
access. Many of the items were removed from Tombaugh's NMSU teaching files; where
possible, surrogate copies were made with the confidential information blocked out. These
copies are filed within the non-restricted teaching files.
Boxes 301 and 302
DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS (copies)
A number of classified documents were found in the White Sands Proving Ground files,
Oversize Materials, and Photographs. These documents are now declassified, following a review
by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The original documents are
filed in the appropriate series. This box contains the photocopies that were sent to NARA for
declassification review; the copies have been retained because they contain NARA's original
declassification markings. In addition, copies of correspondence from NARA concerning the
declassification of these documents is also found here; the original correspondence is filed in the
Archives and Special Collections Department's administrative files.
Box 303
PROCESSING FILES
