The San Carlos Indian Agency was established in 1871 in southeastern Arizona as a home for relocated Apache Indians from Arizona and New Mexico. It was at one time the home of the legendary Apache chief Geronimo. The reservation still exists today as the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation and is the tenth-largest reservation in land area encompassing nearly 3000 square miles. The collection contains financial documents about the San Carlos Indian Agency which includes receipts for items purchased for the reservation such as pencils, flour, and other provisions. Of interest is a file on cash vouchers of regular employees where whites and Indians are separated out by name on the document. There are no series. Folders are arranged in alphabetical order.
