The working files of the current computer programmer consist of 6 cubic feet. Of particular importance are daily logs which document the creation, editing, and updating of a large number of data files. The logs date from 1990 to the present and comprise approximately one cubic foot of records. Also included in the series are computer-generated reports made during file creation and programming documentation pertaining to computer files for New Mexico mortality rates. The series also contains approximately one cubic foot of records pertaining to the Rocky Flats Complex Chemicals Project. The records document the history of the project and include sample data sheets and notes taken by the data collectors. Relevant computer documentation is interfiled with other records. The logs may contain personal information pertaining to the programmers.
