Colorado History Resources

The Center for Colorado & The West specializes in commissoned histories by highly qualified CU-Denver Grad students. You can take advantage of this oppurtunity to tell the story of your family, residence, neighborhood, church, business or any other topic of your choosing. For a modest fee, paid directly to an up and coming graduate student, you will receive a professionally illustrated book, booklet, CD, or any other desired format. For examples, which may be found at http://coloradowest.auraria.edu/ please see:

Kathleen Barlow's The Equitable: Denver's Grand Old Office Building, Spirits and Scandals at 17th and Stout Streets.

Biographical Profiles of Colorado First Ladies and of philanthropist Robert Frank Sweeney.
