Baldwin Locomotive Works. Baldwin Locomotive Works records, 1825-1869.

Title: Baldwin Locomotive Works records, 1825-1869.

The materials in this collection span the years 1825 to 1869, representing the earliest years of Baldwin Locomotive Works' existence, and contain few gaps. The information in the collection deals mainly with the economic aspects of the company, its operations, and its numerous technological advancements, which take the form of diagrams, illustrations, and specification charts. The volumes have been divided into three series: Correspondence, Orders, and Account books. The bulk of the collection can be found in the correspondence, because this series spans the longest period of time - from 1836 to 1867 - and contains the richest records, touching on finance, company operations, orders, and politics.
