Identifier/Call Number: BANC MSS 77/169 cMaterial Cataloged SeparatelyPhotographs have been transferred to Pictorial Collections of The Bancroft Library.Acquisition InformationHubert Howe Bancroft: Records of the Library and Publishing Companies were part of the Bancroft collection purchased bythe University of California in 1905.BiographyHubert Howe Bancroft was born in Granville, Ohio on May 5, 1832. After working for some time in the Buffalo, N. Y. bookstore owned by his brother-in-law, George H. Derby, Bancroft came to California in 1852 to establish a West Coast outlet forthe shop. In 1855, after selling the initial stock, he went east and returned with sufficient books and stationery to open aSan Francisco store the following year. Within two years, his firm on Montgomery Street began to grow into a publishinghouse, issuing such items as law books and legal stationery, texts and maps for schools, and music and piano sales.In 1860, as an outgrowth of assembling research materials for publication of a Pacific Coast handbook, Bancroft began tocollect regional writings: this was the beginning of his unparalleled collection of books and manuscripts on the West. Withina decade he had 16,000 volumes, encompassing not only California and the Pacific Coast as the central focus, but alsoBritish Columbia and Alaska to the north, the Rocky Mountains to the east, and Mexico and Central American to the south,extending back in time from the native Indian cultures of all these regions and the subsequent era of Spanish control. Thecollection continued to grow as a result of collecting trips to the east and Europe, as well as through extensive purchases ata number of major auctions. Eventually it included not only books and manuscripts, but pamphlets, maps, newspapers andother periodicals, and transcriptions of manuscripts made by his corps of copyists from originals still in private hands or ingovernment and church archives. Bancroft and his staff also created original materials by interviewing pioneers whoserecollections might not otherwise have been preserved, resulting in hundreds of early oral histories termed "dictations."By 1868, a move became necessary to relieve overcrowding in Bancroft's expanding and prosperous Montgomery Streetheadquarters. He bought property on Market Street near Third, and began to build in 1869. In April 1870, the completedfive-story building boasted a modernized steam engine in the basement to provide power for the printing presses. The firstfour floors accommodated nine departments, including wholesale and retail books, and stationary, music, law, andeducation sales; a subscription department; and a printing, bindery, and blank book production division. The fifth floor ofthe new Bancroft Building was a literary workshop, completely divorced from the business, where Bancroft's collectionscould be put to use. He engaged Librarian, Henry Lebbeus Oak, to catalog the works he had acquired.Bancroft continued to collect materials as he planned a vast publication project of a series of histories of western NorthAmerican, which in the end numbered 39 volumes: the History of the Pacific States of North America, also known asBancroft's Works. First were five volumes on The Native Races (1874-1875), then three volumes on the History of CentralAmerica and six more on the History of Mexico, followed by two volumes on the Northern Mexican States and Texas, andone treating Arizona and New Mexico. All of these preceded his central topic, a seven-volume History of California(1886-1890), which were followed by nine more volumes on other parts of the west, and a number of more informal works,including Literary Industries, the author's biography.Bancroft's ten year marriage to his beloved wife, Emily Ketchum Bancroft, ended upon her death in 1869. Left alone toraise their daughter, Kate, born in 1860, Bancroft devoted his energies to family and literary productions. He placed the fullresponsibility of managing the business interests of the firm with his younger brother, A. L. (Albert Little) Bancroft, creatinga new partnership in 1860 under the title, A. L. Bancroft and Company. The business expanded and prospered under A. L.Bancroft's direction until a fire destroyed the Bancroft Building and its contents in 1886. Old resentments and quarrelserupted following the traumatic event which eventually severed the brothers personal and professional relationships.Fortunately, the library (referred to as both the Bancroft Library and the Pacific Library) was spared. In 1881, it had beenmoved from the fifth floor of the Market Street location to a specially constructed fire-proofed brick building on ValenciaStreet. Following the fire and dissolution of his partnership with A. L. Bancroft in 1886, Hubert Howe Bancroft formed twonew companies: The History Company, and the Bancroft Company. In August 1887, under these new imprints, theproduction, publication, and marketing of Bancroft's Works resumed in the rebuilt quarters at 723 Market Street, knownthereafter as the History Building.Throughout the West, Bancroft's numerous sales agents continued to sell subscriptions to his Works and the seven-volume Chronicles of the Builders. Following a successful marketing campaign which secured orders for more than 6,000 sets of volumes during the 1870's and 80's, the canvassing effort was abandoned in 1892. In the late 1880's, Bancroft's methods for writing and marketing his works came under attack by literary critics and several of his former employees, including Mr. Henry Oak and Mrs. Francis Fuller Victor. Oak and Victor claimed authorship for major portions of the Works that were credited solely to Bancroft, calling the historian's methods and reputation into question. The retail book and stationary

store finally closed its doors in 1894, after a long and bitter price war had made the business unprofitable.In 1905, Bancroft's accomplishments as an historian and collector were recognized by the University of California. Theinstitution purchased the book and manuscript collections of the eminent historian, numbering over sixty-thousand items,for $250,000. Although the collector contributed $100,000 of the purchase price, the contents of the library had beenappraised at twice the net cost to the University. The History of the Pacific States won recognition as an indispensable workfor students of western history. The collection as a whole remains a distinguished primary source of unique books, maps,pamphlets, and documents on the early history of the West, from Alaska to Central America.In his later years, Bancroft wrote several volumes ( Retrospection, The New Pacific, In These Latter Days) expressing hispolitical, moral, economic, and social concerns for a modernizing world. On March 3, 1918, at the age of 86, Hubert HoweBancroft died at his home, having been struck by a street car several days earlier. He was survived by his daughter, Kate,and his four children (Paul, Philip, Griffing, and Lucy Bancroft) by his second wife, Matilida Griffing Bancroft. They weremarried in 1876 and she predeceased him in 1910.Sources:Harry Clark, A Venture in History: The Production, Publication, and Sale of the Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft.

H. Bancroft's work as an author, publisher, book collector, and San Francisco business owner from 1864 to1910.The earliest records of the Bancroft Library consist of card catalogs, bibliographies, manuscript dictation lists, and purchasereceipts tracing the growth of the collection, while correspondence and reports document the sale of the library to theUniversity of California in 1905. Correspondence between H. H. Bancroft and his Librarian, Henry Lebbeus Oak, and otherstaff, along with some employee payroll records and drawings of interior workspaces, establish the role of Bancroft's libraryas a "literary workshop".Bancroft's bilingual assistants produced voluminous bibliographic and research notes from his library for use in constructingchapter outlines and drafts of Bancroft's 39-volume History of the Pacific States of North America. Of note is extensivecorrespondence between Bancroft, Henry Cerruti, and the Vallejo family in Sonoma, as well as correspondence withCalifornia pioneers for inclusion in the Pioneer Register (part of the History of California volumes). The bulk of the collectionconsists of these materials from various stages of publication production carried out between 1874 and 1890, includingcut-and-pasted manuscript chapter drafts in various handwritings, galley proofs, copybooks, lithographer's proofs, andmock-ups of volumes.Bancroft published Commerce and Industries of the Pacific Coast by John S. Hittell in 1882. The extensive research for thecompilation includes survey booklets and reports covering every type of trade, manufacture, and service in existence inCalifornia and on the West Coast in the early 1880s. Also, found here are research notes, chapter drafts, andcorrespondence relating to other Bancroft publications: Hittel's Pacific Coast Guidebook; Chronicles of the Builders; TheBook of the Fair; The Book of Wealth; his later works, Retrospection and Resurgam, among others.Business records include catalogs and newletters with a variety of books, maps, school texts, music, blank books, andstationary sold at their San Francisco store by A. L. Bancroft & Co. (H. H. Bancroft in partnership with his brother, AlbertLittle Bancroft), The History Company, and the Bancroft Company. Sales instructions, orders, reports, and correspondencefrom agents employed by Bancroft to secure subscriptions to his history series contain a record of their canvassing effortalong with subscriber information. In addition, there are promotional materials and review copy of the "Works" foradvertising purposes. A small group of ledgers records the financial activities of A. L. Bancroft & Co. during 1868-1876,while another ledger records music and piano sales. A few miscellaneous receipts detail repair, building, and maintenancework on the Valencia Street library.
