East Tennessee Light and Power Company records, 1898-1945, 1950 (bulk 1920-1945).

The East Tennessee Light and Power Company records contain correspondence, tax statements, quarterly and annual reports, budgets, account statements, ledgers, job orders, inventories and blueprints. Although the records date from 1989 to 1945, the bulk of the material was generated between 1920 and 1945. The records consist substantially of the documents required for reports to, and audit by, external agencies to which the company was accountable. The remainder of the records largely concern the generation and transmission of electricity by the company and the purchase of East Tennessee Light and Power Company by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Although personnel files were not included in this records group, one TVA payroll ledger, dated 1950, is part of the collection. Photographs which were part of reports or in photo albums were left with the records; other photographs have been placed in Series B-V and stored in the photographic storage area.
