Bank in Pasadena, California.Violet and Donald W. Whittier filed for divorce in 1939. The couple had four children: Joanne, Mary Ellen, Patricia, andDonald A.Company history"Max" Whittier and Burton Greene, along with four other families, were instrumental in starting Belridge Oil Company in1911. The obscure oilfield in Kern County, California was the largest independent oil producer in the state. Leland K.Whittier would later sell the company to Shell Oil Company. The purchase price was nearly $3.7 billion, the largestcorporate acquisition in United States history at the time. "Max" Whittier was also the co-founder of Beverly Hills, California.After the sale of Belridge Oil Company, the Whittier family created several entities to support oil production and financialservices. There were three entities created: 1. The Whittier Trust Company; 2. Whittier Energy Corporation; 3. M.H.Corporation. For a more detailed description of these companies, please see Box 10 (5). The Whittier family alsoestablished numerous foundations including: L.K. Whittier Foundation, Confidence Foundation, I have a Dream Foundation –Los Angeles, and the Helen Woodward Animal Care Center.Scope and ContentThe collection is roughly divided into three series: 1. Company; 2. Family; and 3. Audio/visual, photographs, and oversize.Series 1: Company. This series consists of correspondence, documents, business records, photographs, and ephemerarelated to "Max" Whittier's early business ventures in real estate and the oil industry. Items of interest from Whittier's earlycareer in oil include: Inca Oil Company daily drilling reports from 1906 through 1910 and Coalinga Star Oil Company reportsfrom 1918 through 1920. There are a few early letters from oil companies such as Eagle Oil Company, Uncle Sam OilCompany, and Virginia Oil Company to Whittier from 1900 through 1902. In a letter from Virginia Oil Company, thecompany rejects Whittier's offer to sale portions of Kern oil land for $1,500 an acre: "This is a little beyond our limit at thepresent time. We do not care to take ahold of any land at that figure" (Box 6, 8). Whittier's letter books may also prove tobe interesting as they capture the years 1906 through 1911, right before the founding of Belridge. There are also manydocuments and printed matter related to the sale of Belridge Oil Company to Shell Oil Company in 1979. These itemsinclude: clippings, proxy statements, prospectus, documents, and filing forms submitted to the United States Securities andExchange Commission (SEC). There is also some material related to the Whittier's numerous foundations and philanthropicefforts. The photographs spans from early snapshots in the oil fields to more recent Whittier functions in the 1960s.Series 2: Family. This series consists primarily of correspondence, genealogies, printed matter, and photographs relatedto the Whittier and Andrews family. The earliest letter in this collection is from Lewis Whiting Andrews' grandfather, SamuelAndrews, written in 1854. The letter has strong religious undertones as he writes to his sister about his love for brother,William P. Andrews. There is also a great deal of correspondence from the Crane and Andrews family. Abbie L. Crane andLewis W. Andrews' life together is documented in these letters that span from the late 1800s through early 1900s. Thereare also letters from Leclaire D. Schulze to Ellen L. Andrews, who she was engaged to prior to his sudden death in 1927.Although there are very few early Whittier family correspondence, there are some letters to and from Donald W. Whittierand his daughter, Joanne Whittier Blokker. Additional correspondence is found in Box 27. These letters are primarily relatedto Ellen Andrews' family research. Note: There is a lot of overlap in this portion of the collection. The photographs in thisseries consist of portraits and snapshots related to both the Andrews and Whittier family.Series 3: Audio/visual, photographs, and oversize. The material found in this series is a combination of the bothcompany and family related matter. The Whittier Family Oral History Project compact discs are found in Boxes 53-54 andthe paper transcripts are found in Boxes 74-75. An electronic version of the paper transcripts is available on the HuntingtonDigital Library (HDL). The VHS tapes include Whittier family movies, philanthropy, and miscellaneous television programs.There are also some fragile ambrotypes, daguerreotypes, glass plate negatives, and/or tintypes in Box 66. Note: Many ofphotograph albums and scrapbooks are fragile and contain loose items. In addition, most of the oversize photographs areduplicates of those found in Series 2.Note: Most of the scrapbooks were originally housed in 3-ring binders that have been discarded. The contents of thesescrapbooks are housed in plastic document sleeves and have not been relocated to other parts of the collection. Originalcorrespondence, photographs, and printed matter may be found in these scrapbooks, along with duplicates.ArrangementThe Whittier family collection is roughly arranged by genre.Existence and Location of CopiesSeveral audiovisual items in the collection were digitized in 2018.
