http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/403873497

The Hinsdill Parsons collection contains 2 cubic feet of paper records from Parsons' employment at General Electric, as well as personal and financial papers. The majority of the collection is comprised of correspondence between Parsons and various professional and personal contacts. The collection also includes financial reports from GE and other companies on which Parsons served as a board member or trustee. Other areas of interest include records of stock and bond transactions, both professional and personal, and several maps of areas affected by GE-affiliated railway or utilities companies. This collection covers the years 1890-1912, with the bulk of the documents dating from 1900-1912. The GE and other financial documents deal primarily with investments in the United States; the majority of the documents are related to upstate New York matters, although interests in other locations include Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Oregon. GE and Parsons were also involved in activities in Europe and Mexico. Parsons kept records of the clubs and organizations of which he was a member, including meeting minutes and dues records. Other personal documents include legal documents such as insurance papers and estate records, as well as correspondence with and financial advice given to friends and family members.
