Manuscripts
The collection includes 720 pieces of correspondence, 32 receipts and account statements and 15 pieces of ephemera. All receipts and accounts belonged to Henry Z. Osborne and the majority of them are for mining-related expenses. The ephemera is primarily related to politics in general, and California politics in particular, although other interests are also represented. Of note is a book containing photographs of the construction of the harbor in San Pedro, California. The majority of the correspondence is addressed to Osborne, although 24 of the letters were authored by him. Subjects addressed within the correspondence, and the collection as a whole, include: the Associated Press, California politics and government (especially Los Angeles), California's political candidates, the Central Pacific Railroad Company, the Los Angeles Evening Herald and Express, the Los Angeles Times (and Harrison Gray Otis), William McKinley, mines and mineral resources of Arizona and California (particularly in Trinity County), political patronage in California, California's selection and appointment of public officials, the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and the Osborne family.
