http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28407042

The bulk of the collection consists of vendor files, business materials, and correspondence. The correspondence series are comprised of incoming, outgoing, and Indian letters. Business correspondence includes government organizations, particularly the Republican party; Indian organizations, such as the Indian Arts and Crafts Board; and business organizations that bought Indian goods, notably Fred Harvey. Personal correspondence includes that of artists and writers, such as Laura Adams Armer and Elbridge Ayer Burbank, employees, friends, local Navajo and Hopi individuals, and family members. Correspondence, as well as personal papers, are present for John Lorenzo Hubbell, his daughters Barbara H. Goodman and Adele H. Parker, his sons Roman Hubbell and Lorenzo Hubbell, Jr., and their spouses and children. Off-post and intrapost vendor series contain the following: orders, invoices, consignment lists, freight bills, packing slips, statements of charges, receipts, loan notes, tax statements, rental notices, and credit memos. Long-term vendor relations are with the Babbitt Brothers Co., C.N. Cotton Co., and Gallup Mercantile. The business series are comprised of daily, summary, and Indian records; included are daybooks, cashbooks, individual accounts, and inventories. As with the intrapost vendor series, most of the Hubbell stores are represented, but Ganado, Winslow, and Oraibi have the most extensive records. Legal items encompass maps, mortgages, titles, leases, estate and court records, and trading post licenses. Within the banking materials are statements, deposits, overdrafts, credits, World War II rationing accounts, and cancelled checks from numerous banks in Arizona, New Mexico, and California. Other items in the collection are insurance company policies, post office records, sales books, and national store catalogs.
