Provenance: Compiled by Dianna Everett, Ph.D. and Clayton Anderson
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection of records dates from 1897 to 1987, encompassing all but the eight years (1889-1896) of the Chamber of Commerce's existence in Oklahoma City. Consisting of 700 bound volumes, the collection was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 1994. (Additional loose materials are also contained in the collection.)
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce maintained its records in standard office files from 1889 to 1923. In that year, Chamber Managing Director Stanley Draper required that each division save the most important of its materials that reflected the year's activities and accomplishments. He directed that these be bound into books. In addition, records dating back to 1897 were also bound. Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability. In its efforts to study and improve these areas in order to make the city marketable, the Chamber compiled much information, and the records also reveal the interaction of Chamber officials, civic and business leaders, and governmental officials in these processes. The volumes contain all from the most general to the very specific documents, so that a researcher may look deeply into the genesis and implementation of a wide variety of economic promotion activities. A checklist of volumes was provided by the Chamber listing the volumes by division and gives pertinent numbering, titling, and dating information for each volume.

Provenance: Compiled by Dianna Everett, Ph.D. and Clayton Anderson
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection of records dates from 1897 to 1987, encompassing all but the eight years (1889-1896) of the Chamber of Commerce's existence in Oklahoma City. Consisting of 700 bound volumes, the collection was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 1994. (Additional loose materials are also contained in the collection.)
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce maintained its records in standard office files from 1889 to 1923. In that year, Chamber Managing Director Stanley Draper required that each division save the most important of its materials that reflected the year's activities and accomplishments. He directed that these be bound into books. In addition, records dating back to 1897 were also bound. Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability. In its efforts to study and improve these areas in order to make the city marketable, the Chamber compiled much information, and the records also reveal the interaction of Chamber officials, civic and business leaders, and governmental officials in these processes. The volumes contain all from the most general to the very specific documents, so that a researcher may look deeply into the genesis and implementation of a wide variety of economic promotion activities. A checklist of volumes was provided by the Chamber listing the volumes by division and gives pertinent numbering, titling, and dating information for each volume.

The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection of records dates from 1897 to 1987, encompassing all but the eight years (1889-1896) of the Chamber of Commerce's existence in Oklahoma City. Consisting of 700 bound volumes, the collection was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 1994. (Additional loose materials are also contained in the collection.)
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce maintained its records in standard office files from 1889 to 1923. In that year, Chamber Managing Director Stanley Draper required that each division save the most important of its materials that reflected the year's activities and accomplishments. He directed that these be bound into books. In addition, records dating back to 1897 were also bound. Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability. In its efforts to study and improve these areas in order to make the city marketable, the Chamber compiled much information, and the records also reveal the interaction of Chamber officials, civic and business leaders, and governmental officials in these processes. The volumes contain all from the most general to the very specific documents, so that a researcher may look deeply into the genesis and implementation of a wide variety of economic promotion activities. A checklist of volumes was provided by the Chamber listing the volumes by division and gives pertinent numbering, titling, and dating information for each volume.

The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection of records dates from 1897 to 1987, encompassing all but the eight years (1889-1896) of the Chamber of Commerce's existence in Oklahoma City. Consisting of 700 bound volumes, the collection was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 1994. (Additional loose materials are also contained in the collection.)
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce maintained its records in standard office files from 1889 to 1923. In that year, Chamber Managing Director Stanley Draper required that each division save the most important of its materials that reflected the year's activities and accomplishments. He directed that these be bound into books. In addition, records dating back to 1897 were also bound. Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability. In its efforts to study and improve these areas in order to make the city marketable, the Chamber compiled much information, and the records also reveal the interaction of Chamber officials, civic and business leaders, and governmental officials in these processes. The volumes contain all from the most general to the very specific documents, so that a researcher may look deeply into the genesis and implementation of a wide variety of economic promotion activities. A checklist of volumes was provided by the Chamber listing the volumes by division and gives pertinent numbering, titling, and dating information for each volume.

Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability. In its efforts to study and improve these areas in order to make the city marketable, the Chamber compiled much information, and the records also reveal the interaction of Chamber officials, civic and business leaders, and governmental officials in these processes. The volumes contain all from the most general to the very specific documents, so that a researcher may look deeply into the genesis and implementation of a wide variety of economic promotion activities. A checklist of volumes was provided by the Chamber listing the volumes by division and gives pertinent numbering, titling, and dating information for each volume.

Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability. In its efforts to study and improve these areas in order to make the city marketable, the Chamber compiled much information, and the records also reveal the interaction of Chamber officials, civic and business leaders, and governmental officials in these processes. The volumes contain all from the most general to the very specific documents, so that a researcher may look deeply into the genesis and implementation of a wide variety of economic promotion activities. A checklist of volumes was provided by the Chamber listing the volumes by division and gives pertinent numbering, titling, and dating information for each volume.

The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection of records dates from 1897 to 1987, encompassing all but the eight years (1889-1896) of the Chamber of Commerce's existence in Oklahoma City. Consisting of 700 bound volumes, the collection was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 1994. (Additional loose materials are also contained in the collection.)
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce maintained its records in standard office files from 1889 to 1923. In that year, Chamber Managing Director Stanley Draper required that each division save the most important of its materials that reflected the year's activities and accomplishments. He directed that these be bound into books. In addition, records dating back to 1897 were also bound. Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.

The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection of records dates from 1897 to 1987, encompassing all but the eight years (1889-1896) of the Chamber of Commerce's existence in Oklahoma City. Consisting of 700 bound volumes, the collection was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 1994. (Additional loose materials are also contained in the collection.)
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce maintained its records in standard office files from 1889 to 1923. In that year, Chamber Managing Director Stanley Draper required that each division save the most important of its materials that reflected the year's activities and accomplishments. He directed that these be bound into books. In addition, records dating back to 1897 were also bound. Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability.

The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection of records dates from 1897 to 1987, encompassing all but the eight years (1889-1896) of the Chamber of Commerce's existence in Oklahoma City. Consisting of 700 bound volumes, the collection was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 1994. (Additional loose materials are also contained in the collection.)
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce maintained its records in standard office files from 1889 to 1923. In that year, Chamber Managing Director Stanley Draper required that each division save the most important of its materials that reflected the year's activities and accomplishments. He directed that these be bound into books. In addition, records dating back to 1897 were also bound. Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability. In its efforts to study and improve these areas in order to make the city marketable, the Chamber compiled much information, and the records also reveal the interaction of Chamber officials, civic and business leaders, and governmental officials in these processes. The volumes contain all from the most general to the very specific documents, so that a researcher may look deeply into the genesis and implementation of a wide variety of economic promotion activities. A checklist of volumes was provided by the Chamber listing the volumes by division and gives pertinent numbering, titling, and dating information for each volume.

In that year, Chamber Managing Director Stanley Draper required that each division save the most important of its materials that reflected the year's activities and accomplishments. He directed that these be bound into books. In addition, records dating back to 1897 were also bound. Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability. In its efforts to study and improve these areas in order to make the city marketable, the Chamber compiled much information, and the records also reveal the interaction of Chamber officials, civic and business leaders, and governmental officials in these processes. The volumes contain all from the most general to the very specific documents, so that a researcher may look deeply into the genesis and implementation of a wide variety of economic promotion activities. A checklist of volumes was provided by the Chamber listing the volumes by division and gives pertinent numbering, titling, and dating information for each volume.

Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability. In its efforts to study and improve these areas in order to make the city marketable, the Chamber compiled much information, and the records also reveal the interaction of Chamber officials, civic and business leaders, and governmental officials in these processes. The volumes contain all from the most general to the very specific documents, so that a researcher may look deeply into the genesis and implementation of a wide variety of economic promotion activities. A checklist of volumes was provided by the Chamber listing the volumes by division and gives pertinent numbering, titling, and dating information for each volume.

The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection of records dates from 1897 to 1987, encompassing all but the eight years (1889-1896) of the Chamber of Commerce's existence in Oklahoma City. Consisting of 700 bound volumes, the collection was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 1994. (Additional loose materials are also contained in the collection.)
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce maintained its records in standard office files from 1889 to 1923. In that year, Chamber Managing Director Stanley Draper required that each division save the most important of its materials that reflected the year's activities and accomplishments. He directed that these be bound into books. In addition, records dating back to 1897 were also bound. Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records.

Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability. In its efforts to study and improve these areas in order to make the city marketable, the Chamber compiled much information, and the records also reveal the interaction of Chamber officials, civic and business leaders, and governmental officials in these processes. The volumes contain all from the most general to the very specific documents, so that a researcher may look deeply into the genesis and implementation of a wide variety of economic promotion activities. A checklist of volumes was provided by the Chamber listing the volumes by division and gives pertinent numbering, titling, and dating information for each volume.

The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection of records dates from 1897 to 1987, encompassing all but the eight years (1889-1896) of the Chamber of Commerce's existence in Oklahoma City. Consisting of 700 bound volumes, the collection was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 1994. (Additional loose materials are also contained in the collection.)
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce maintained its records in standard office files from 1889 to 1923. In that year, Chamber Managing Director Stanley Draper required that each division save the most important of its materials that reflected the year's activities and accomplishments. He directed that these be bound into books. In addition, records dating back to 1897 were also bound. Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths.

The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection of records dates from 1897 to 1987, encompassing all but the eight years (1889-1896) of the Chamber of Commerce's existence in Oklahoma City. Consisting of 700 bound volumes, the collection was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 1994. (Additional loose materials are also contained in the collection.)
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce maintained its records in standard office files from 1889 to 1923. In that year, Chamber Managing Director Stanley Draper required that each division save the most important of its materials that reflected the year's activities and accomplishments. He directed that these be bound into books. In addition, records dating back to 1897 were also bound. Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability.

Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability. In its efforts to study and improve these areas in order to make the city marketable, the Chamber compiled much information, and the records also reveal the interaction of Chamber officials, civic and business leaders, and governmental officials in these processes. The volumes contain all from the most general to the very specific documents, so that a researcher may look deeply into the genesis and implementation of a wide variety of economic promotion activities. A checklist of volumes was provided by the Chamber listing the volumes by division and gives pertinent numbering, titling, and dating information for each volume.

The volumes contain all from the most general to the very specific documents, so that a researcher may look deeply into the genesis and implementation of a wide variety of economic promotion activities. A checklist of volumes was provided by the Chamber listing the volumes by division and gives pertinent numbering, titling, and dating information for each volume.

The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection of records dates from 1897 to 1987, encompassing all but the eight years (1889-1896) of the Chamber of Commerce's existence in Oklahoma City. Consisting of 700 bound volumes, the collection was donated to the Oklahoma Historical Society by the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce on February 7, 1994. (Additional loose materials are also contained in the collection.)
The Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce maintained its records in standard office files from 1889 to 1923. In that year, Chamber Managing Director Stanley Draper required that each division save the most important of its materials that reflected the year's activities and accomplishments. He directed that these be bound into books. In addition, records dating back to 1897 were also bound. Thus, in 1923, the physical arrangement of the collection was basically established, that is, each division having its own series of record books, compiled annually. The arrangement has been maintained since that time, with the addition of new divisions when created, or deleted when disbanded or absorbed. In 1948, the Public Relations Division became responsible for collecting and arranging for binding the records. The Chamber also maintained an in-house lending library of the bound volumes, which were used by staff and occasionally by members of the public. Chamber officials used the materials in the preparation of reports, news releases, and historical overviews.
The Chamber collection does not include all documents generated by all parts of the Chamber. Not present in this collection are the Minutes of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors after 1932. Also not present are the “Company Files” that the Chamber maintained for decades (most of these were destroyed in the 1950s).
Nevertheless, the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce Collection has many research strengths. The primary focus of the Chamber has been the promotion and encouragement of economic development in Oklahoma City and County, and, peripherally, in the state of Oklahoma. The Chamber records offer much statistical information on the process of economic growth, presented in surveys and other reports. Background material is present reflecting the recruitment of many businesses, industries, and other entities to the city: Tinker AFB, Aero-Commander Inc., Wilson & Co., General Motors, Federal Aviation Agency, and many others. Additional records relate to public works projects designed to enhance Oklahoma City's marketability. Still others relate to transportation and labor relations, two topics also related to marketability.
