Dockweiler family collection, 1827-1996, bulk 1890-1950.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/45383415

The Dockweiler Family Collection consists of materials from a Roman Catholic family long distinguished in Los Angeles civic and social life. Anchoring this collection are the materials relating to the patriarch of the family, Isidore Bernard Dockweiler (1867-1947), prominent Los Angeles lawyer and civic leader, and personage of the California Democratic Party. The collection contains both textual and non-textual materials. The former consists of correspondence, newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, legal briefs, telegrams, pamphlets and booklets, legal documents, receipts, and account and appointment ledgers, manuscripts and printed books. The non-textual material includes photographs, scrolls, certificates, and such political ephemera as campaign posters, buttons, and ribbons. Chronologically, the collection runs from 1827 to 1996, with its bulk dates between 1890 and 1950. The holdings on Isidore Dockweiler anchor this collection, but most material after 1950 concerns Mary Dockweiler Young/Sooy, or Frederick C. Dockweiler. Some materials, especially the scrapbooks and some photographs, are in fragile condition, and their condition noted in the entries in the container lists.
