Subseries 6.1
Minerals and mining files,
1929-1970
Boxes 40-44
Scope and Content Note
This subseries contains subject files related to Hartsfield's interest in minerals and mining, his primary non-Atlanta and non-mayoral pastime. From the early 1930s through the late 1950s, Hartsfield maintained an active interest in the development of Georgia's mineral industries, occasionally investing in mining ventures. He investigated the possibility of drilling for oil in the north Georgia mountains and bought shares in talc, mica, and phosphate mines. He was also a founder and director of the Georgia Lightweight Aggregate Company, 1951-1954. Hartsfield never achieved the financial success he desired and, by the time of his retirement from politics, he had turned his attentions elsewhere. This subseries consists mostly of correspondence, although there are occasional financial records, newspaper clippings, and published reports among the correspondence in the files.
