Robert L. Hogg, Lawyer, Genealogy, 1930/1949

1.5 Linear Feet 1 ft. 6 in. (3 document cases, 5 in. each); (1 small flat storage box, 3 in.)

This collection consists of nine legal notebooks and a volume of bound correspondence. The legal notebooks are bound volumes designed for use in recording notes on different types of cases and legal terms. Each volume begins with an alphabetical case index that names the cases and terms dealt with in that volume and gives the page numbers where the material for each is written. The volumes overlap as to the cases and terms they discuss, but generally contain different references and definitions. There is no apparent order to them. Some are heavily used, whereas others contain only a few notes. The notes refer to standard law books and individual cases, sometimes noting fully the value and significance of a precedent or term, other times simply referring to a particular case or work for clarification. Some knowledge of the reference citation system used would be necessary for using the notes to refer to the sources. The bound volume of correspondence consists of letters to Robert L. Hogg from various insurance companies and associations, friends, and colleagues congratulating him on his appointment as Manager and General Counsel of the American Life Convention, September, 1944.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
