    Henry E. Huntington and family

    Manuscripts

    The Henry E. Huntington and family series deals with the life of Henry E. Huntington, the Huntington family and the Metcalf and Holladay families, from 1640 to 1984 (bulk 1849 to 1977). This series is comprised mostly of the "Bio file," which is material selected and designated by Robert O. Schad, Curator of Rare Books and curator of the Huntington papers in the 1930s, for his planned definitive biography of Henry E. Huntington; Schad never published a book, but he did have a smaller publication entitled "Henry Edwards Huntington, the Founder and the Library" published by the Huntington Library in 1931. The series contains biographical information about Henry E. Huntington, Collis P. Huntington, and Arabella Huntington, as well as records and documents regarding their estates and finances. There are a series of oral histories and reminiscences of Henry E. Huntington and letterbooks belonging to Collis P. Huntington, mostly related to his business ventures. There is material related to the Huntington property and residences in San Marino, California, New York City, and Chateau Beauregard in France. The financial papers are comprised of balance sheets, bank books, check stubs, monthly bank statements, and other financial documents. There are court documents in various lawsuits involving Henry E. Huntington. The collection also contains papers and material belonging to the Metcalf and Holladay families (related to the Huntingtons by marriage). There are thousands of newspaper clippings dealing with Henry E. Huntington, his businesses, railroads, and Los Angeles; that series also includes obituaries of both Collis and Henry Huntington. The scrapbook sub-series also deals with the Huntingtons and their businesses, railroads, and Los Angeles.
