Collection consists of Hooker's papers from the two world wars, personal papers, and papers relating to his work with the Hooker Electrochemical Company during the 1920s as western sales manager in Tacoma, Wash. Hooker served in both wars as a chemical officer in the U.S. Army and correspondence from those wars reflects his work as a chemical officer, life on the front and in civilian areas, life in the trenches, air warfare, and civilian and military attitudes toward these wars. Much of the correspondence during World War I is to and from family members, especially his brother, R. Wolcott Hooker, and is supported by orders, pamphlets, reports, ephemera, and maps. Correspondence during World War II is chiefly with his wife, Ellen Jane (Jones) Hooker, and daughter, Mary Rogan Huntington Hooker, discussing homesickness and loneliness while stationed in London and financial matters; together with reports, newspaper clippings, pamphlets, orders, and ephemera. Records of the Hooker Electrochemical Company consist chiefly of annual reports, bulletins, corporate history, correspondence, newsletters, pamphlets, photographs, and biographies of founding members and illustrate a pivotal era in the company's growth. Also includes genealogical reports and research of the Hooker family and Hooker's journals from 1912-1913.
