Manuscripts

The Clarence E. Van Gundy papers contain material related to his education, but consist primarily of material related to mining and his career in the petroleum industry from 1903-1985. Series 1: Education papers consists of Van Gundy's class notes and assignments, while a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley in the 1930s. Included are notebooks, notes, manuscripts, photographs, and specimen samples related to his doctoral research in the Grand Canyon. This series also includes scientific papers produced from his research related to faulting in the eastern part of the Grand Canyon. Series 2: Mining papers consists of analyses of various oil fields and individual wells scattered throughout California; also included are core report samples, expenses, memorandums, technical drawings, logging reports, and a plethora of maps, many of them manuscripts or heavily annotated. The mining papers are arranged in the following manner: state - county or valley - area, district, or field (if available). Material in the two sub-series may be related, for example material in subseries 1 may reference memorandums that investigate heavy minerals in the San Joaquin Valley in subseries 2. Although the papers are heavily focused on California, there is also material related to other states.
