Correspondence, estate files, business files, community affairs files, travel files, diaries, and biographical and genealogical materials documenting the career and family of a Weyerhaeuser corporate executive and St. Paul (Minn.) community leader. The papers contain a great deal of information on the Musser family, particularly on Clifton and Margaret Musser, with emphasis on the business interests owned by Clifton Musser and the family's financial and other contributions to Muscatine, Iowa. The largest groups of papers, however, document John Musser's Weyerhaeuser corporate activities and his involvement in other business interests They contain a good deal of information on the operation of Weyerhaeuser firms, as well as on the development of the U.S. lumber industry during this period. They also evidence his involvement in the affairs of many nonprofit institutions. These include his work as a trustee for Carleton College, Yale University, and other educational institutions; as a leader in such local organizations as the Boy Scouts, the United Way, the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, the St. Paul Urban Coalition, and St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church; as a trustee of the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies; and with environmental groups like the Nitrogen Fixing Tree Association (Hawaii).
