The collection contains records related to the incorporation of the company and issuance of stock, but contains only a few documents related to operations. There is material related to an attempt by the company in 1921 and 1922 to build a railroad from the quarry in Adamant to the Boston & Maine Railroad line in East Montpelier. This material includes options to buy rights-of-way and surveys of the route for the railroad. The collection also contains a few documents on the purchase of the Logan and Judge Quarry in Milford, Massachusetts, from the bankrupt Webb Pink Granite Company, and a subsequent attempt to resell the quarry to Wenz Co., Inc., of Allentown, Pennsylvania. There is one item from the Whittier Quarry Company: a list of granite shipped from 1916-1920. There are also a few documents from the Adamant Quarry Company in the collection, the most substantive of which are Articles of Association dated 1924 and a contract with the Quarryworkers International Union.
