ExxonMobil Petroleum and Chemical (Firm)
ExxonMobil records, 1790-2004 (bulk 1880s-1990s).
Foundation and governance documents, legal agreements, correspondence and memoranda, publications, financial reports, press releases, speeches, news clippings, histories, advertising and graphics material, posters, ledgers and record books, drawings and blueprints, photographs, moving images, sound recordings, and artifacts and memorabilia document the activities and functions of four major corporate entities - Standard Oil Company, Mobil Corporation, Exxon Corporation and Exxon Mobil Corporation - and their predecessors and subsidiaries (1790-2004, bulk 1880s-1990s). The bulk of the collection documents the Mobil Corporation and was assembled as a function of its corporate archives prior to the 1999 merger. Though Mobil established a dedicated archival program only as recently as 1995, Mobil maintained an "historical file" collection in its public affairs department in the early 1950s as a way of maintaining this material. The merger in 1999 resulted in both corporations combining their historical resources. The collection originally served the corporation as a resource to fulfill business needs. As a result, it is an inco3mplete record. The collection provides insight into the early activities of the Standard Oil Company and charting the growth of Exxon and Mobil's core business activities, namely the exploration, production, refining and marketing of petroleum products, and the industry's development and societal impact throughout the 20th century. In addition, the collection contains diverse material that can support research on related topics such as advertising and brand identity, management and corporate culture, the environment, architecture, graphic design, and philanthropy.
When Exxon and Mobil merged in 1999, the newly formed Exxon Mobil Corporation brought together a shared history that dates back over 120 years to their origins as part of the Standard Oil family of companies. John D. Rockefeller and partners formed the Standard Oil Company of Ohio in 1870, after having entered the oil business in 1863 with the founding of Andrews, Clark & Company and later Rockefeller, Andrews & Flagler in 1867.
