Abstract

The Charles H. Woolf Collection consists of correspondence, business records, and financial records produced primarily by Woolf's father, Charles C. Woolf. Although the collection extends from 1875 to 1961, the bulk of the material documents the activities of the Phoenix Title and Abstract Company, the Tempe Water Development Company, the Salt River Valley Water Users Association, and the Tempe-Mesa Produce Company from 1890 to 1925.
