Manuscripts
The chronologically-arranged financial documents include general business, accounting, financial statements, deposited checks/vouchers, etc. of the Sinclair Consolidated Oil Corporation, members of the Sinclair family, and their associates. A separate subseries is available for audits. The chronologically-arranged securities include stocks, bonds, receipts, certificates, promissory notes, etc. of the Sinclair Consolidated Oil Corporation, Sinclair family, and their associates. Brokerage Firm Transactions constitute a subseries of securities and are grouped alphabetically by firm name. The chronologically-arranged legal records contain contractual agreements, affidavits, and other information related to legal claims against Sinclair Consolidated Oil Corporation and/or Harry F. Sinclair. In addition to general legal records, this series contains two subseries: the first consists of documents related to Teapot Dome, including leases, agreements, and reports and the second contains tax records of Sinclair family and associates, which were submitted as evidence in the trials against Sinclair. Chronologically-arranged correspondence to and from Harry F. Sinclair as well as correspondence among his business associates constitute the fourth series. When possible, the business correspondence was grouped with relevant financial and legal documents. The chronologically-arranged ephemera contain newspaper clippings, poems, etc. Noteworthy clippings include an article entitled "Where are these bonds?" from the St. Louis Post Dispatch (1928), containing the serial numbers of the bonds involved in the Teapot Dome Scandal as well as Harry F. Sinclair's obituary printed in the Daily Racing Form (Nov. 13, 1956). Lastly, the chronologically-arranged oversize documents contain financial and tax-related records. The four volumes in the oversize series are extremely fragile. Access to one of these items, "H.F. Sinclair Cash Disbursements" (1916-1918), may be restricted. Please consult the Manuscripts Department for more information.
