Abstract

The scientific and personal papers of the late C. V. Theis have been donated to the University of New Mexico by the U.S. Geological Survey and Theis's daughter, Marilyn Lewis. The collection will be housed in the Center for Southwest Research, formerly the Special Collections Department, of the UNM General Library.The university expressed a strong interest in the material because so much of it relates to the water resources of New Mexico and because of Theis's long association with the university as research associate, adjunct professor, and senior official of the Geological Survey, which was housed on the campus for many years. Although Theis was known principally for his contributions to groundwater hydraulics, his publications included papers on evaporation, terrestrial heat flow, and other subjects.
