http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/30262623

The William Wallace Booth Papers are divided into three series: University of Pittsburgh; Oakland Corporation; and Aspen Corporation. The University of Pittsburgh materials date from 1936-1973, but are primarily concerned with his time on the Board of Trustees, Executive Committee, and various other committees, 1941-1968. Booth joined the Oakland Corporation, a private development company designed to preserve and develop the university areas in Pittsburgh, circa 1961, where he served as an officer and director. In 1965 he helped form the Aspen Corporation, a private company that searched for legal documents on clients' behalf. The bulk of the materials in the Booth papers consist of correspondence, reports, memoranda, and minutes.
