Carnegie Steel Company records 1853-1912 (1869-1912).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/49422216

The Carnegie Steel Company records are housed in eighty-eight archival boxes and arranged in four series. Series have been designated for Andrew Carnegie, Corporation records, business records and index and research files. These materials include correspondence, letter books, financial materials, organizational materials, legal documents, news clippings, publications and other sundry materials. The papers primarily relate to Carnegie's philanthropic, financial and business concerns. The papers lack a personal side to Carnegie. They focus on the costs, payments and investments. Even Carnegie's personal correspondence centers on the economics of his leisure time. This is quite evident in his correspondence in series one relative to his horses and stables in Cresson, Pa. The majority of the papers have been transcribed and in most cases, a carbon copy of the transcriptions also exists. The transcriptions have maintained with the original. In some cases, additional copies were made and grouped together by subject. These subject files have been maintained and placed at the end of each relevant category.
