The Albert R. Hibbs Papers, 1884-2009 (80 boxes) document the personal life and career of Hibbs as a manager and scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the relationships between JPL, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and the development of the solar system exploration programs. Hibbs' consulting work for television and radio programs, Biosphere 2, and Morgantown Area Rapid Transit System (MARTS) are also documented. Although the collection arrived at The Huntington in disarray, original order of the materials was maintained when possible and the arrangement reflects Hibbs' general organization by correspondent, subject, or format of materials. The collection is divided into ten series: Audio Visual Materials, Consulting Files, Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Notebooks, Personal Files, Photographs and Negatives, Presentations and Speeches, Publications and Writings, Teaching Files, and Oversize. The bulk of collection materials date from 1931 to 1999 and consists of audio and video tapes, clippings, correspondence, memoranda, notes, photographs, publications, speeches, and writings. As the collection is arranged by both subject and format of the materials, researchers should be aware that materials are often dispersed through the series. For example, materials related to specific subjects are frequently represented in the JPL and Notebooks Series; similarly, Hibbs' friendship and collaboration with Roy L. Walford is documented in the Correspondence and Aging Research and Writings subseries of the Personal Series, in the Space Bioshpheres Ventures subseries of the Consulting series, as well as in the Audio Visual Materials Series. Correspondence is also dispersed throughout the series.

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.
