Partial Inventory of Architectural Drawings and Manuscript Collections
Architectural Drawings Collection:
Description:
The architectural drawings collection consists of 1,765 sheets, housed in 26 flat file drawers. The collection includes original drawings, unique copies, and duplicate copies. Many drawings were produced by the H. K. Ferguson Company between 1938 and 1939 and record the plant's initial construction. The majority of these are rendered in pencil on pre-printed vellum. The highest concentration of Ferguson drawings consist of lighting plans, plumbing plans, schedule sheets, etc. Many include floorplans on the reverse. The original elevations and floorplans for the first six buildings are missing, making the system drawings the only known record of the plant's original layout. All of the Ferguson drawings (originals and copies) have been inventoried on an item-by-item level for each file drawer.
Other original drawings document numerous subsequent changes to the plant. Time constraints prevented a complete listing of all of these drawings, which include renderings in both pencil and ink on vellum or mylar, but the majority of them date to after 1953-the end of the plant's period of historical significance. The exception consists of a series of drawings for the soluble coffee (Sanka) building from circa 1947. These drawings are also inventoried on an item-by-item level. A portion of the inventory includes an item-by-item listing of ALL drawings to provide a sample of the collection's breadth and depth (see notes accompanying inventory list).
Most drawings measure 25" X 37". Some are oversized, and some are smaller. In such cases the sizes are noted, but otherwise all drawings are standard.
Condition:
The original drawings are for the most part drawn in pencil on archivally stable vellum or mylar. Some of the vellum sheets are torn around the edges with corresponding losses. A handful of sheets are drawn in ink on coated linen. The unique copies are all reproduced on highly acidic paper and show signs of brittleness and discolorization. The remaining duplicate copies are also printed on highly acidic paper with similar conditions.
Organization:
The drawings no longer retain their original order, but have been assembled from various locations and loosely grouped in file drawers by building number. The General Foods Corporation, however, employed a project numbering system, which in most cases gave each sheet a unique number. Accordingly, this inventory groups the drawings drawer-by-drawer as found, but then lists them by their original project numbers.
Manuscript Collection:
Description:
The Manuscript Collection consists of 5 boxes (approximately 10 liner feet) of business correspondence, invoices, bills, equipment manuals and mechanical and architectural drawings. Many files appear to correspond with and compliment the projects delineated in the architectural drawings collection. Many of the architectural drawings contained within the Manuscript Collection may consist of duplicates. A closer examination of this collection was beyond the scope of the present project.
Condition:
All manuscripts appear to be printed on non-archival wood pulp paper and housed in non-archival folders. Most of the collection shows signs of brittleness and discolorization.
Organization:
The collection retains some of its original order based on project numbers, although the files have been removed from their cabinets and jumbled together in some cases. The manuscript collection has not been inventoried, but appears to represent an integral part of the larger collection of architectural drawings.

NOTES:
" Only drawings prepared before 1992 (date of plant closing) were examined and counted in this inventory, although post-1992 drawings are intermixed in the flat file drawers.
" Drawing descriptions are expressed by (1) date drawn, (2) project and sheet number, (3) description, (4) material.
" Dates shown are the date drawn; if no date is given, it's expressed as "n.d." If another date appears on the sheet, the date is expressed as a circa.
" Drawing descriptions are for the most part verbatim.
" All H. K. Ferguson drawings (originals and copies) have been inventoried on an item-by-item level.
" In addition, the inventory of Stack 1, Drawers 1 through 6 includes a complete listing of ALL DRAWINGS (originals and copies from all time periods). This is intended to furnish a sample of the collection's scope. The inventory for the Loose Rolled Collection and Stack 1, Drawers 7 through 15 consists of ORIGINAL DRAWINGS ONLY (no copies).
