This series of documents paint a picture of the series of events that lead to the succeeding legal conflict. This series is comprised of Pleadings, Foreclosure documents, Chattel documents, letters, telegrams, and, of special interest, a Minute Book documenting a "Special Meeting of the Santa Rosa Ranch Company" in which important stock transfers occurred.

Santa Rosa Ranch Minutes Book. Hard-bound ledger book detailing articles of Incorporation, by-laws, and minutes of the first stockholders' meeting of the Santa Rosa Ranch Company.

Incorporated by J. A. Gallagher, W. M. Sanford, and Fred Kelly. Notarized by Peter O'Brien and filed with Secretary of State, J. R. Curl. The corporate seal is embossed and described.

The first meeting was held in the offices of J. C. Sullivan in San Antonio, the minutes of this meeting show a stockholder receiving a proposal from Mr. D. Sullivan "offering to transfer and assign to the company certain property as set forth in said proposal in exchange for the entire capital stock of the company to be issued to his order, fully-paid and non-assessable." The stockholder agreed to accept 220,000 acres in exchange for the stock with a said value of $50,000.

After this, the initial board of directors of Gallagher, Sanford, and Kelly resigned.

In another meeting, D. Sullivan then leases the land to the corporation for 10 cents per acre. John Cotter Sullivan appears to have been the attorney of record.

Enclosed within the ledger book are also various other handwritten notes and a typed letter declining an offer of $100,000 for the "iron properties of the Grand Republica Mines of Mexico."

Also included is a typed version of the minutes of the "special meeting." (handwritten)

General correspondence, undated.

The Robert I. White Papers are almost entirely concerned with a set of court cases whose background and context began life in early 20 thcentury Europe, where a penniless amateur artist named Adolf Hitler honed his art skills as well as his political magnetism and influence. They then move through Hitler’s rise to national power and his tyrannical grip over Germany, which ended after an unimaginably brutal war and the liberation of Europe’s suffering peoples by Allied armies in 1945. The scene then shifts to the United States, to which four watercolors painted by Hitler and a valuable archive of photographs taken by one of his few friends, Heinrich Hoffmann, were removed by the U.S. Army to the victorious United States as seized spoils of war.

In Texas a man named Billy F. Price, interested in Hitler’s artistic life and career, then joins forces with the wife and children of Hitler’s friend to have the seized materials returned to them, claiming that the U.S. government acted illegally. Robert I. White, of Houston, was Price’s lawyer in the resulting litigation. The case – which evolved into a number of separate actions - spent over 20 years meandering through different federal courts from Texas to Washington, DC before Price and his fellow litigants were finally turned down in their final appeal by the Supreme Court in 2009.

The White Papers chronicle the journey of Price and the Hoffmann heirs’ case from its beginnings in 1982, when the plaintiffs first requested the return of the Hitler watercolors from U.S. Army custody, to 2004. They consist primarily of the legal documentation generated for and by the lawsuit, including briefs, depositions, exhibits, motions, pleadings, orders, and writs. Also included are files of supporting correspondence. Audio-visual materials in the collection include audiotapes of phone conversations and witness depositions, videotapes of witness dispositions, and photographs.

The collection is divided into series based around the individual numbered cases. An additional sub-series, Series IIIA, consists of specific physical exhibits that were used in the initial case, Civil Action H-82-3712.  Note that documents recur in multiple series, because they were used as pieces of evidence or sources of background information for different cases.

One box of materials contains bound volumes of White's legal and other notes made durng his undergraduate and law school education.

This collection includes correspondence to and from Clareson on his research, his science fiction journal editorship and related matters; manuscripts of some of Clareson's work, including a study of Robert Heinlein, as well as Understanding Contemporary American Science Fiction: The Formative Period (1990) and an unpublished biography of Charles Reade; research files for Clareson's study of John Wyndham; audio cassettes of interviews, panels and other appearances by Clareson; slides used by Clareson in his classroom work; and some miscellaneous materials. Also included are several awards that Clareson won for his professional work.

Several additional boxes contain research materials used by Clareson in the writing of his work The Heritage of Heinlein: A Critical Reading of the Fiction. Clareson died before he could complete the work, and it was ultimately finished and published by Joe Sanders in 2014. The materials include the manuscript for the book, as well as some original correspondence from Robert A. Heinlein, and copies of some of Heinlein's novels with notes by Clareson.

The correspondence contains letters from Lois McMaster Bujold, Harry Harrison, and James Tiptree, Jr.
