Nine sketchbooks containing sketches done by William Hayes Hilton during his travel around California, Arizona, Nevada, and Mexico from 1850-1870. The most common subjects of his drawings are gold miners in California; San Francisco and Monterey, California; and Tepic and Mazatlan, Mexico. His sketches include people, churches, and landscapes, and in several of them he drew the indigenous people of California and Mexico as well as Chinese people in California. Several of the sketchbooks have loose sketches and are in fragile condition.

Series 1: Business and legal files. The first series consists of business and legal files of William Jack Chow. The files are arranged in alphabetical order by subject. These files concern both Chow's career as a lawyer and a businessman. The folders may contain a combination of business records, case files, correspondence, financial records, legal documents, memoranda, and securities. Chow also frequently traveled to Hong Kong for work. Those files are also found in this series and they span from the 1950s through 1970s. A subject of interest includes the Supreme Court of the United States landmark decision to uphold affirmative action in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke. At the end of this series are Chow's books primarily related to business and law. Note: Chow's appointment books and business cards are found in Series 2.
