Title: Papers of the Low Moor Iron Company [manuscript], 1872-1930.

Papers of the Low Moor Iron Company, Alleghany County, Va., producer of pig iron and owner of coal and iron mines and a limestone quarry, contain accounts, annual reports, bills, boarding house books, cash books, check stubs, correspondence, inventories, invoices, order books, payroll books, rent books, scrapbooks, scrip books, time books, blueprints of mechanical drawings, and other operational, financial, and employee records covering all phases of the company operations including coal and iron mining, limestone quarrying, pig iron production, marketing and transportation, and company and employee relations. The papers reflect national economic cycles from the 1880s through the 1930s. They document the company's strained relations with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, the procurement of immigrant labor, the running of company towns and labor difficulties including a 1902 strike. The papers also trace the precipitous decline of the Virginia iron industry in the 1920s caused by transportation difficulties and a shift of iron production to newer fields, and the final dissolution of the company.
