Title: The Charles A. Ellis Papers, 1911-1946 (inclusive), 1928-1938 (bulk).

The Charles A. Ellis Papers (1911-1946; 0.4 cubic ft.) document the professional career of structural engineer Charles A. Ellis. Types of materials in the collection include correspondence, writings, printed material, photographs, organization chart, financial estimates, and information on professional achievements. Although some biographical information and a small number of personal photographs are included in the collection, the papers primarily document Ellis' involvement with the design of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Notably missing are Ellis' faculty papers from his tenure at the University of Michigan, University of Illinois, and Purdue University. The Papers are divided into three series: Golden Gate Bridge, 1929-1938; Professional Career, 1919-1945; and Photographs, 1911-1946. Within each series, items are arranged chronologically by type of material. The Golden Gate Bridge series documents the design and initial construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. It includes correspondence, financial estimates, letterhead, organization chart, newspaper clippings, and an article written by Ellis on the method he devised for his calculations. The Professional Career series documents certain aspects of the professional career of Charles Ellis. It includes a summary of Ellis' professional experience, correspondence, transcripts for speeches made by Ellis, printed material, and a newspaper clipping of Ellis endorsing a Howard radio. The Photographs series includes six photographs of work on the Golden Gate Bridge; Charles Ellis with friends in Rocky Hill, Connecticut; and Ellis' retirement dinner at Purdue University.
