Using the Business Records
Executive records, financial documents, correspondence, and photographs comprise a smaller but significant portion of the Lehman Brothers Collection. A finding aid for the Lehman Brothers Collection is available in OASIS, the Harvard University Library Online Archival Search Information System at http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:
HBS.Baker.EAD:bak00042. The finding aid provides detailed information about the collection and includes a complete inventory of its contents.
The collection documents both Lehman Brothers and Kuhn, Loeb & Company, an investment firm that merged with Lehman in 1977. The papers are of historical interest but are not comprehensive. Included are the papers of Robert Lehman and several Kuhn Loeb figures, such as John M. Schiff and members of the Kahn and Warburg families. The papers deal with business matters and personal concerns, such as Robert Lehman’s art collection. Office and client files detail the business practices of Lehman Brothers and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
