520 2 |a Senator Hart maintained offices in Washington, D.C. and in Colorado. With sizeable staffs in separate offices many files overlap. This is to be expected in large collections of Congressional papers and the object in organizing and arranging Senator Hart's Papers has been to facilitate access without trying to combine every file of like information which would have been long and costly. When doing research in these papers ALWAYS CONSULT EACH SECTION FOR WHATEVER INFORMATION YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR. Please note also that dates (i.e. 1982 84) are assigned to most folders. Many folders contain upwards of one hundred papers and the dates are intended only as a broad marker of the time period. 
520 3 |a Gary Hart (born in 1936), a graduate of Yale University's schools of Divinity and Law, first gained national visibility while directing George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign. Colorado voters elected Hart to the U.S. Senate in 1974 and narrowly re-elected him in 1980. He soon began a "dark horse" try for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, placing second to Walter Mondale in 1984. Hart retired from the Senate in 1986 to unsuccessfully pursue the 1988 nomination, disbanding the campaign organization by mid-1987. The collection includes Senate papers and records from Hart's Washington and Colorado offices, plus diverse materials generated for the Senator's Colorado and national election efforts.

545 0 |a Gary Warren Hart was born November 28, 1936 in Ottawa, Kansas. In 1958, he graduated from Bethany Nazarene College in Oklahoma. Hart earned degrees from the Yale Divinity School in 1961 and the Yale Law School in 1964. He first came to Colorado in 1943 and, in the summers from 1954 1962, he worked on the Santa Fe and Colorado & Southern Railroads. He moved to Colorado in 1965 and started to practice law in Denver in 1967, focusing on natural resource and environmental law. Gary Hart's public service began when he volunteered in the campaign of President John F. Kennedy. He spent 1964-1966 in Washington, D.C. as an attorney in the Justice Department and as Special Assistant to Secretary Stewart Udall at the Interior Department. In 1968 he worked as a volunteer for Robert Kennedy's presidential campaign in Colorado. As a Denver resident Hart served on the Board of Commissioners of the Denver Urban Renewal Authority, he lectured on natural resources law at the University of Colorado School of Law at Boulder. Hart entered politics in his own right in 1974 and, aided by the awakening of environmental ethics and the changing demographics of the Colorado electorate, he was elected to the U.S. Senate from Colorado. He retired from the Senate at the end of the 99th Congress in 1986. Hart entered the race as democratic candidate for the presidency in Denver on April 13, 1987. His campaign, however, ended unexpectedly and prematurely amidst allegations of sexual improprieties. He withdrew his candidacy on May 15, 1987.
