The Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa), formerly the Pittsburgh Reduction Company, was incorporated in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 18, 1888. The company was founded by George H. Clapp, Millard Hunsicker, Captain Alfred E. Hunt, Horace W. Lash, W.S. Sample, and Robert J. Scott, who contributed a total of $20,000 in capital. The formation of the company was made possible by a new process of smelting aluminum which was invented by Charles Martin Hall. On February 23, 1886, while working in a woodshed of his kitchen in Oberlin, Ohio, Charles Hall discovered an inexpensive way to smelt aluminum. Previously, aluminum was considered a semiprecious metal because of the expense involved in producing it. The discovery of an inexpensive way to smelt the metal ushered in a new era for aluminum.
The Pittsburgh Reduction Company built its first facility at the 3200 block of Smallman Street in Pittsburgh in 1888. The demand for aluminum was increasing and by September 1890 the Smallman Street Works was turning out 5,000 pounds a month. At the same time, the demand for capital was increasing. The Pittsburgh Reduction Company borrowed money from some Pittsburgh businessmen, such as David L. Gillespie, a prosperous lumber dealer, and William Thaw, of a coke and railroad business family. The company also began what would become a long lasting business relationship with the Pittsburgh banking house of T. Mellon Sons when Charles Hall sold some of his stock to the bank. In 1889 the company increased the capital stock to $1 million. With the development of relations with the banking house of T. Mellon Sons the company became more formally organized. Captain Hunt, in addition to being president, would become general manager. Charles Hall was vice president of technical operations and Arthur Davis became assistant general manager.
In 1891 the company, to allow for expanded production, moved its plant to New Kensington, 17 miles up the Allegheny River. The company began producing cast products (such as teakettles) and aluminum sheeting, as well as raw aluminum and in 1899 it acquired its first bauxite mining rights. The company grew and by 1907 included a reduction operation at Niagara Falls (NY), the Aluminum Cooking Utensil Company (PA), the East St. Louis Works (IL), the Massena Works (NY) , the St. Lawrence River Power Company, and the Massena Terminal Railroad. The company had numerous mines, alumina plants, hydroelectric facilities, aluminum smelters and fabricating facilities, and the Alcoa Technical Center (in Pittsburgh) for laboratory research and development. In 1907 the Pittsburgh Reduction Company changed its name to the Aluminum Company of America.
Starting in the early twentieth century Alcoa began to expand its operations overseas. Between 1920 to 1928 Alcoa set up sales offices and established operations, from ore deposits to fabricating facilities, in Europe as well as Canada and the Caribbean. By 1930 Alcoa had over half the total world capacity in primary aluminum. Alcoa had marketed itself worldwide and aluminum became one of the most versatile and manufactured metals. Aluminum was used in buildings, airplanes, automobiles, furniture, roofing, tube and foil, impact extrusions, rolled structural shapes, electrical transmission, cooking utensils and high-fashion giftware. Additionally, Alcoa owned facilities involved in every aspect of aluminum production, from bauxite mining to hydroelectric power to fabrication plants. By the 1930s Alcoa had established a significant hold over virtually every phrase of the aluminum production which brought it to the attention of the federal government.
Beginning in 1912 Alcoa was involved in an antitrust suit filed by the United States government on the grounds of monopolistic practices involving restrictive covenants with suppliers. From 1922 to 1930 Federal Trade Commission investigations brought further accusations of unfair competition and discrimination. Finally, in 1937, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a complaint charging the company with monopolizing interstate commerce in over fifteen markets and commodities and engaging in conspiracies with foreign producers. The trial lasted thirteen years, including appeals, with the final court decision in 1951 absolving Alcoa of wrongdoing. Two major ramifications of the anti-trust suit were the divestiture of aluminum war plants to Alcoa's competitors and the disposal of common stock holdings in Aluminum Limited by Alcoa's major stockholders. No longer did Alcoa have such complete holdings over the aluminum market that they had enjoyed in previous years.
After 1950 the company continued to thrive and grow. Alcoa produced more consumer goods and developed innovative ways to market aluminum. The company sponsored weekly television shows, developed more home products, such as roofing, windows and aluminum siding, and stretched the limit of aluminum. They developed key marketing strategies such as the "Alcoa Care-Free Home" and "Forecast" programs. In 1952 Alcoa built a new corporate headquarters in Pittsburgh. The company erected a thirty story aluminum building in the center of Pittsburgh's downtown center. It was a technical triumph and architectural masterpiece that enhanced Alcoa's image. In 1962 Alcoa moved into the design of aluminum ends for tin-plate cans in the beer industry. By the end of 1963 the aluminum top had been adopted by most brewers and was used on forty percent of all U.S. beer cans. Alcoa then began construction on producing an all aluminum can. While Alcoa decided not to pursue the business of producing aluminum cans, the company built facilities to manufacture the sheet metal used in the cans. Alcoa's involvement in the aluminum can business also led the way to its involvement in packing of all kinds. Packaging included foil, collapsible tubes, and composite containers for all manner of consumer goods. By the 1980s packaging and containers would produce more revenues for Alcoa than its other major markets in transportation, electrical equipment, and construction combined. Another aspect of aluminum cans and packaging was aluminum recycling. In the 1970s Alcoa followed Reynolds' initiative and began to develop new recycling technologies.
From the 1980 to 1990s Alcoa pursued high-technology businesses on a wide front, from the aerospace industry to military applications. The company also continued its sales in packaging, automobiles, construction, vinyl siding, plastic bottles, and electrical distribution systems for cars and trucks. By 1998 the company included 215 operating locations, 103,500 employees in 31 countries, and revenues over $15 billion. Alcoa's current (1999) president and chief executive officer is Alain J.P. Belda who succeeded Paul H. O'Neill in 1999. In 1998 the company built a $57 million Corporate Center on the Allegheny River in Pittsburgh. Once again Alcoa used technical innovations in achieving this glass and aluminum architectural masterpiece.
Scope and Content Notes Series have been designated for Alcoa Plants and Subsidiaries; Biographies; Competitors; Employee Records; Financial; Histories of Alcoa; Legal Materials: Case Files; Legal Materials: Working Files; Management; Marketing and Sales; Miscellaneous; Publications: In House; Publications: Library, and Research and Development. These records include correspondence, advertisements, annual reports, publications, charts, ledgers, memoranda, minutes, and other sundry material. The records primarily document the early history of Alcoa and its facilities and the products manufactured by the company between 1890 and 1960. The legal history of the company is well represented within the records, as well as product and employee publications, and managers files. There are very few records related to employees. Items which were separated out because of size were marked on the inventory list and there is an oversized inventory container list.
These records are arranged artificially because the records showed no apparent order at the time of processing. In some cases groups of records were in good order (i.e. publications, managers files). Some records were placed in a particular series because of the original folder headings and nature of the materials. Researchers should note that materials related to many functions and activities of Alcoa may be found in two or more series and their records are in two distinct locations. This occurs most often when dealing with product information and managers' files. Researchers looking for information on research and development should also cross-check various series. (For instance, the original research ledger of Charles Hall is in Series IX: Management while other research information may be found in Series XIV: Research and Development. Similarly, correspondence by Arthur Davis and Charles Hall will be found in many different areas of Series IX: Management, depending upon to whom the letters were addressed.) Therefore cross-checking of subjects, events, or subsidiaries may be necessary to yield all the information on a particular topic. Since this material is described at the folder level, researchers should have little problem finding these links.

Alcoa Steamship Company, New York, , 1947-1969 Scope and Contents This subseries contains bauxite shipping agreements, contracts, pamphlets, and reports pertaining to the Alcoa Steamship Company and its subsidiary Lib-Ore Steamship Company of Liberia. The Alcoa Steamship Company was organized in 1950 as part of Alcoa's international expansions to ship the high grade ore that Alcoa imported from its large mines in Suriname and Dutch Guiana to its plants in the United States, where it was processed into alumina. The company expanded its operations and leased its ships to transport ore to other aluminum-related industries across the globe. In 1946 the Alcoa Steamship Company created a line of passenger-cargo liners for Carribean Service, the Cavalier, Clipper, and Corsair, which were discontinued in the 1960's due to growing expenses and competition.

Georgia Bauxite, Georgia, , 1894-1905 Scope and Contents This subseries (2 archival boxes) contains correspondence, financial materials, ledgers, and expense and time books. The correspondence consists of letters from Alfred Hunt and J.R. Gibbons documenting the early beginnings of this bauxite venture, along with a monetary appraisal of the company and meeting minutes of the board of directors. The financial materials are comprised of early stock certificates. The ledgers contain a wide variety of information, from expense accounts to a time book which recorded employees names, hours worked and wages.
In 1894 Alcoa acquired bauxite deposits in a venture known as the Georgia Bauxite Company which was originally managed by George Gibbons. Along with its other bauxite purchases, the Republic Mining and Manufacturing Company and the General Bauxite Company of Arkansas, Alcoa became a net seller, rather than purchaser, of bauxite by the early 1900s. The purchase of the bauxite mines was one of the first steps to Alcoa becoming not merely a supplier of the aluminum product, but rather a company involved with the entire process of aluminum making.

Massena, New York, , 1896-1989 Scope and Contents This subseries contains awards, clippings, correspondence, and reports relating to the plant at Massena, New York. The correspondence contains a number of letters discussing the technical aspects of the plant and electric company. In the historical materials are notes compiled from R.T. Danforth's diaries relating to the early history of Massena, a chronology of plant improvements, and short biographies of town characters. The payroll ledger consists of only three sheets and contains sparse information. The reports pertain to plant construction and repair, 1913-1961, and contain some photographs.
In 1903 Alcoa built a fabrication and reduction plant at Massena which was powered by the St. Lawrence Power Company which Alcoa bought in 1904. The plant was expanded throughout the years to contain a laboratory, wire and cable mills, and a railroad.

New Kensington, Pennsylvania, , 1891-1972 Scope and Contents This subseries contains awards, clippings, correspondence, historical materials, contracts, ledgers, and surveys. The correspondence consists of a wide variety of letters regarding technical matters and office procedures. Within the facilities survey and historical materials files are chronological histories and maps of the New Kensington plant and some early labor statistics. The employee records have a small but interesting amount of information relating to labor difficulties and employee telephone procedures. This subseries contains information relating to when the company was named the Pittsburgh Reduction Company.
In 1891 the Pittsburgh Reduction Company (Alcoa), after three years in downtown Pittsburgh, constructed new plant facilities a few miles north-east of Pittsburgh in New Kensington, Pennsylvania.

Taylor, long-time editor of Alcoa employee publications, and Chester C. Conner, assistant secretary responsible for Alcoa's records control, library, and archives. The biographies are primarily about Alcoa managerial employees, from operations managers to sales managers, director of research to vice-president of Alcoa plants and subsidiaries, who were born in the late nineteenth century and worked for the company during the mid-twentieth century. This series contains awards, biographical sketches, correspondence, employee work applications, news clippings, press releases, and publications. Separate folders were made for Alcoa employees such as Arthur V. Davis, Roy A. Hunt, Irving Wilson, and John Harper while others with less information were combined alphabetically into single folders. Included are biographies on aluminum inventors, such as Hans Oersted and Paul Heroult, and the Mellon family of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The files do not contain current employee biographies. For a complete list of biographies contained within the series see Appendix I.
Additions to collection: Accession #2002.0298 includes several brief articles on the life and contributions of Joseph W. Richards (b.1864 – d.1921), who served Alcoa as a patent consultant from 1904 until his death. Included with the biographical articles are three letters (1958) between A.M. Hunt and C.C. Conner regarding Richard's relationship to the company. Also included in this addition to the collection are two appreciation booklets presented to Alcoa executive Frederick J. Close on his retirement in 1970: "F.J. Close in Words" and "F.J. Close in Pictures."
Arrangement The Biographies are housed in eighteen archival boxes and arranged alphabetically by last name.

The series was created to encompass a variety of information relating to international and national companies involved in the aluminum business, from bauxite mining to aluminum rolling, competitively or otherwise. The series also contains information on companies with which Alcoa had relations. There are a few sales pamphlets from companies that dealt with aluminum rolling and heavy machinery. The files from Dow Chemical Company relate to technical issues such as magnesium and contain agreements on patents between Alcoa and Dow. Dow bought aluminum and aluminum products from Alcoa and there are a number of correspondences dealing with the contracts and sales terms. The series is strong in information during the 1890-1900s when the Hall patent was first pending and during the 1930-1950s when the United States government initiated its anti-trust suit against Alcoa. During the intervening time Alcoa had little competition in the aluminum industry and therefore information is lacking for the years 1900-1935. Of note are the patent files which contain reproductions of the numerous patents pertaining to aluminum. The British Aluminum Company files contain legal materials concerning their suit against Sir W.G. Armstrong Mitchell and Company, along with clippings, price listings, and advertisements in the miscellaneous file. The foreign bauxite reports, sheet rolling mills, and domestic competitors catalog the many companies that were involved in the aluminum industry, especially in Great Britain and Germany.
Arrangement This series is housed in two archival boxes and arranged alphabetically by company name.

This series is an arbitrary one created by the archivist to combine documents relating to labor relations, salary, health, and safety that Alcoa had gathered in its offices. There is little documentation of specific employees or time sheets; rather there is an abundant amount of information pertaining to the labor operation of mills.
Arrangement The Employee Records are housed in 5 archival boxes and arranged alphabetically in two subseries with general files arranged to the front.
Arrangement Subseries have been designated for general files and training manuals.

Alcoa was involved in a number of suits throughout the years, the largest being the anti-trust suit filed by the United States government against Alcoa in 1937.
Arrangement The Legal Department: Case Files are housed in 6 archival boxes and 7 shelves, and arranged chronologically in two subseries.
Arrangement Subseries have been designated for the Anti-trust case and Miscellaneous cases.
1. Anti-Trust Case, , 1910-1956 Scope and Contents This subseries contains briefs, testimony, opinions, and transcripts from the United States versus Aluminum Company of America, Equity No. 85-73. The paper books were the property of Leon Hickman who assisted Alcoa's lead attorney, William Watson Smith, during the trial. Many of the volumes in the paper books duplicate the previous volumes in the anti-trust subseries.
In 1937 the United States Department of Justice filed suit against Alcoa accusing the company of monopolizing sixteen markets and entering into conspiracies with foreign producers to keep competing aluminum out of the United States. The trial began June 1938 at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and lasted until August 1940. In March 1942 Judge Francis G. Caffey found the defendants not guilty on every one of the charges. The verdict was appealed by the United States government and in January 1945 the tribunal of Judge Learned Hand, Augustus Hand, and Thomas Swan decided that Alcoa had monopolized the aluminum industry, but would not break up the company. The Department of Justice continued to press for a substantial divestiture of many of Alcoa's holdings and in 1947 Alcoa petitioned for a ruling that it no longer monopolized the aluminum industry. Again, Alcoa and the United States government were in court, this time under Judge John C. Knox. Judge Knox found that although Alcoa was not a monopoly they possessed "monopoly potential" and ordered that shareholders in Alcoa and Aluminum Limited (Alcoa's foreign company) dispose of their holdings in one or the other company within ten years. To ensure that Alcoa was acting fairly the company's every move was scrutinized by the Justice Department and Congress. Finally in 1957, after a request by the Justice Department for an extension of judicial jurisdiction over Alcoa was dismissed, the anti-trust suit ended.
Arrangement This subseries is housed on 7 shelves.

The publications are reprints of articles found in Metals and The Metal Industry written by Arthur V. Davis and S.K. Colby. The specimen signatures are from Charles Hall, Andrew Mellon, Arthur Davis, and others.

Managers Files, , 1881-1990 Scope and Contents This subseries contains correspondence, diaries, memoranda, patents, reports, and office files from Alcoa managers. There is much overlap within the subseries; correspondence associated with one person may be found in many separate groupings. Of note in the collection are the late nineteenth and early twentieth century correspondences of Charles Hall, Alfred E. Hunt, John Gibbons, and Edwin Fickes. The materials of Charles Hall are comprised of correspondence from 1896 to 1914 and a ledger from 1887-1888 which includes detailed accounts of his scientific experiments with aluminum. The majority of the correspondence pertains to the daily operations of the Pittsburgh and Niagara plants, mineral purchases, patent issues, and production output.
The collection of materials regarding Arthur V. Davis is limited in scope and contains little correspondence. Many of his letters are dispersed throughout the collection and can be found in other managers' files, such as Charles Hall's and Edwin Fickes's. The collection from John R. Gibbons consists mainly of correspondence to Alfred E. Hunt but there is also a large amount of correspondence from John R. Gibbons in the Alcoa Plant and Subsidiaries Series, Bauxite, Arkansas, where he was superintendent.
Additions to collection: Accession #2002.0298 includes letters to Charles Hall from Alfred Hunt and Arthur V. Davis concerning their visit to the Merrimac Chemical Company (1896). These letters detail their impressions of the Merrimac facility with ideas about how they could create an improved facility of their own.

The series is rich in information relating to aluminum products, commercial and industrial.
Arrangement This series is housed in 17 archival boxes and arranged alphabetically in three subseries.
Arrangement Subseries have been designated for Advertising, Product Information and Sales.
1. Advertising, , 1890-1982 Scope and Contents This subseries contains advertisements, correspondence, clippings, and surveys. There is a limited amount of actual advertisements within the subseries; the bulk of the collection pertains to expositions and exhibit surveys. Researchers looking for information on a specific product should check both advertising and product information. The largest section of advertisements relates to the Aluminum Castings Company. The Aluminum Castings Company materials contain advertisements for their Lynite and Lynux alloys. Many of these advertisements are World War I propaganda and equate the superiority of the alloys in airplanes and machinery to winning the war.
Of interest within the exhibit section are the materials relating to the Century of Progress, Columbian, New York, and Pittsburgh Expositions. These files contain correspondence relating to Alcoa's involvement with these expositions along with exhibition descriptions and drawings. The exhibit surveys consist of audience surveys and exhibit performance reports for trade shows in which Alcoa participated. The exhibitions range from Agricultural Engineering to Home Builders, National Soft Drink Association to Paint Industry shows. The reports were generated by an outside organization, Exhibit Surveys, for Alcoa from 1967-1972. The reports chart the number of visitors, their occupations, the geographic regions they came from, and often include the survey forms.
Additions to collection: Accession #2002.0298 includes a brochure from the Alcoa Steamship Company regarding "Freighter Travel to the Caribbean" (1956); a copy of Fortune magazine from September, 1934; and two Alcoa advertisements from the 1930s.

Sales Department, , 1893-1963 Scope and Contents This subseries contains invoices, manuals, memoranda, publications, and reports. The installation record invoices are of particular interest for they contain itemized lists of companies that purchased and installed aluminum electrical conductors. The invoices also note the location, size, weight, and type of conductor system along with remarks on customer satisfaction. The installation records are generally grouped by the office from which the order was placed, for example Chicago or New York offices, but it is not consistent. There is a wealth of reports pertaining to distribution sales as well as salesman manuals and sales department memoranda. The salesman specification catalogues contain drawings, metal properties, price lists, dimensions, and other specific information relating to aluminum alloys and products. Most likely these catalogues were carried around by the traveling salesman.

This series contains awards, clippings, correspondence, pamphlets, memoranda, publications, and invoices. The largest category of information relates to a records retention plan. There are a number of reports on plans for the disposal and retention of company records, along with a number of federal publications. Some of the publications such as Protecting Records in Wartime and Safeguarding Records from Air Raids were produced during World War II and the Korean War. Most likely Alcoa gathered the retention plans of other companies to organize an implementation plan of their own. The American Institute of Management was an organization which produced audits of company techniques, strengths, and weaknesses. In 1956 Alcoa was chosen as one of the companies whose management practices were worthy of a rating of excellent and their techniques are discussed within the manual.

The reprints and vertical files have been kept in the original order in which they were maintained. They contain many similar subject headings. The reprints are of a more scholarly nature, while the vertical files contain more odds and ends.
Arrangement This series is housed in 30 archival boxes, on 4 shelves, and arranged alphabetically into three subseries.
Arrangement Subseries have been designated for books, reprints, and vertical files.
1. Books Scope and Contents [9] The decision was made to keep the books from the Alcoa records with the archival collection instead of separating them to the library. Some books were separated to the library, but only those which related to the history of Western Pennsylvania. All of the other books which pertained to aluminum and related aspects of aluminum were kept with the Alcoa records.
