    Robert Cleland research collection on Phelps Dodge Corporation

    Manuscripts

    The Robert Cleland research collection on Phelps Dodge Corporation consists primarily of chapter drafts written by Arthur Train, Jr., comments from readers at the Huntington, research notes, interviews, history essays, and printed ephemera about the history of the Phelps Dodge Corporation from 1861-1940. The chapter files usually include manuscript drafts, notes, some also include interview questions, excerpts, and photographs. Of note are the interviews, interview notes, and questions conducted by Train in 1939 and 1940. The identification of interviewees is very poor, with some interviews identified only as "Mr. Wilson." Included are index notes created by Cleland for microfilm he made of Train's research and notecards referencing various sources with citations for Train's work. The location and existence of this microfilm is not known. Also included are records from the District Court (1st Judicial District, Cochise County, Arizona), transcripts of a court testimony from the Supreme Court of New Mexico, articles of agreement from the Recorder's Office in Pima County, Arizona, and a smelter register. The contents of two loose leaf binders, which contained miscellaneous information organized by subject with references to the microfilm reels and interviews, has been re-housed in folders. Included is an unpublished and undated typescript entitled Men and Mines: the story of Phelps Dodge by Arthur Train, Jr. and John L. Lawler.
