Biographical / Historical

Norman B. Livermore, Jr. was born in 1911 in San Francisco to Norman B. Livermore, Sr. and Caroline Livermore (for whom Mt. Livermore on Angel Island is named). He was the great-grandson of California pioneer and state senator (from El Dorado County) Horatio Gates Livermore and the grandson of Horatio Putnam Livermore.

Norman B. Livermore, Jr. was a noted California conservationist and Secretary of Resources under Governor Ronald Reagan. He was also an avid and accomplished mule packer and guide and, in the 1930s and 1940s, was actively involved in running packing stations and leading packing trips into the Sierra. He was also an early director of the Sierra Club. From 1957 to 1965, Livermore served as Treasurer for the Pacific Lumber Company.

In 1967, Reagan named Livermore as Secretary of Resources, hoping that Livermore would act as a bridge between the worlds of lumber and conservation. Livermore would become one of Reagan's closest advisers. It was Livermore who convinced Reagan to take the pack trip into the high Sierra that convinced that governor to oppose the building of a freeway from the Central Valley across the Sierra into Nevada. Livermore also played a key role in Reagan's decision to curtail development in the Tahoe Basin.

Livermore served on the boards of the National Audubon Society, the Peregrine Fund, Save the Redwoods League, Tamalpais Savings and the Stanford Business School Advisory Council. He was the founder of the High Sierra Packers Association and treasurer of the Commonwealth Club.

The Speeches series contains Livermore's speech transcripts and notes arranged chronologically by year. Files in the Water series pertain to Hetchy Hetchy and to the Garrison Diversion Project. The collection contains a small number of files documenting Livermore's connection to the Ronald Reagan presidential transition.

The Wilderness series contains some materials created by Livermore as Secretary of Resources in California.

The Pacific Lumber Company series consists soley of correspondence created by Livermore during his tenure as Treasurer of the Pacific Lumber Company. This correspondence dates only from 1965 and does not cover his entire tenure as treasurer (1957-1965).
