Corporate records, 1808-1960.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122405786

The records were generated by 92 of the PRR's non-railroad subsidiaries. They are exclusively corporate records: minutes, board meeting papers and account books. As such, they are concerned primarily with corporate evolution, mergers and property holdings. Information on the operations of some of the companies can be found in the files of the operating departments of the PRR proper.
