Biographical / Historical
Clarence Edgar Van Gundy was an American geologist; he earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in geology
from the University of California, Berkeley in the 1930s. As part of his doctoral research,
he was a member of the 1934 expedition led by one of his professors, Norman Ethan Allen
Hinds, into the Nankoweap Basin in Arizona where he examined Algonkian rocks in the eastern
end of the Grand Canyon. After graduation, Van Gundy worked in petroleum exploration, first
with Shell Oil Company, then as Chief Geologist with Chanslor-Canfield-Midway Oil Company,
and finally with Texaco, where he worked as district geologist and senior geologist in a
division office. He was married to Marian Van Gundy and the couple lived in Altadena,
California.

Scope and Contents
The Clarence E. Van Gundy papers contain material related to his education, but consist
primarily of material related to mining and his career in the petroleum industry from
1903-1985. Series 1: Education papers consists of Van Gundy's class notes and assignments,
while a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley in the 1930s. Included
are notebooks, notes, manuscripts, photographs, and specimen samples related to his doctoral
research in the Grand Canyon. This series also includes scientific papers produced from his
research related to faulting in the eastern part of the Grand Canyon.
Series 2: Mining papers consists of analyses of various oil fields and individual wells
scattered throughout California; also included are core report samples, expenses,
memorandums, technical drawings, logging reports, and a plethora of maps, many of them
manuscripts or heavily annotated. The mining papers are arranged in the following manner:
state – county or valley – area, district, or field (if available). Material in the two
sub-series may be related, for example material in subseries 1 may reference memorandums
that investigate heavy minerals in the San Joaquin Valley in subseries 2. Although the
papers are heavily focused on California, there is also material related to other
states.
Note: Related material can be found interspersed in all series,
as Van Gundy's analyses and mining projects often extended across multiple counties.
