The collection contains bank ledgers, signature books, stock certificates, stock warrants, minutes, financial reports to stockholders and government institutions, examiners' reports, correspondence, news clippings, press releases, advertising materials, maps, AV materials, and a few photographs. The collection consists of the institutional and patron records of Riggs Bank, its immediate predecessors banks, and banks that it acquired or merged with during the 20th century. Please note that the bulk of the records are from Riggs Bank and its predecessors, Famers and Mechanics National Bank, Washington Loan and Trust, and the National Bank of Washington. The records represent only a portion of the original volume of records created by the banks, especially those acquired by Riggs. In the case of Riggs, it maintained and grew its historical collection during the mid to late 20th century, notably under coroporate communitcations director Roland Carr. He retained older records and 19th century ledgers. Upon its purchase of Riggs in 2005, PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., assumed ownership of the collection.
