Call No.: F866.B924 1898

George Burlingame was a local businessman who resided in the Westwood area of Los Angeles from 1931 until 1954. The family papers were donated to the University Library in 1997 by Professor Ronald Purcell. They include records from the Loomis family, Cecilia Burlingame's family name. The correspondence, business records, and California road maps and guides in the collection depict the activities of the family which settled in California at the beginning of the 20th century. Much of the collection contains property records for residental and rental real estate owned by the family in northern and southern California from 1910 through the 1950s.
