Graham (R. Niles) collection 1846-1958 bulk 1895-1958

http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/tslac/90013/90013-P.html

The R. Niles Graham collection documents the lives and business interests of Richard Niles Graham and his immediate family. The materials in the collection date from 1846 to 1958, with the bulk of the material dating from 1895 to 1958. The Grahams were prominent members of Texas business and society in Austin in the first part of the 20th century and descended from the state's 19th century governing aristocracy. The collection sheds light on the family's history, social activities, interests, and business transactions and consists of personal and inter-family correspondence, family estate papers, and business correspondence and other business records for the Enfield Oil and Petroleum Company and the Enfield Realty and Home Building Company, such as mineral rights leases, title deeds, financial records, maps, and architectural plans. The collection also contains a large cache of memorabilia, ephemera, and printed matter collected by the Graham family over the course of their lives, including scrapbooks, newspapers, magazines, programs, and travel brochures documenting their personal interests. Graham also compiled a large collection of photographs that speak to his interests and document the activities of himself and his family.
