The collection is approximately 18 linear of business records including: correspondence; logscaling records; reports and research studies; minutes and meeting summaries; personnelrecords; newsletters and advertising literature; forestry maps; maintenance and equipmentrecords; timber contracts; and company photographs.

This collection is best characterized as the working documents of the Southwest ForestIndustries company, with the office files left in their original provenance arrangement.Researchers should be aware of the implications of this type of arrangement, unexpectedrelationships of materials within a given folder is the rule rather than the exception.

The collection contains significant amounts of data collected in the process of "scaling" thetimber, as well as political correspondence and Legislative Bill proposals, and includesefficiency study data and other personnel related records. Notable political correspondenceincludes thank you notes from Carl Hayden, Steward Udall and Barry Goldwater. Researchrecords, minutes from various organizational meetings, budget and finance projections, andcontract information all form a significant portion of the collection. Researchers may find theforest unit maps helpful in confirming documentary data regarding the location and volume oftimber cut.

The collection also contains Southwest Forest Industries company photographs, as well asearly photographs (ca. 1925) of Cady Lumber Company operations (later Southwest ForestIndusties). The Cady Lumber Company operations images are the same as those in the Mrs.Benton E.
