Scope and Content

The Richard A. Heath / Early Lockheed History Collection mainly contains material collected by and created by Heath, for an extensive history of the Lockheed (earlier Loughead or Lougheed) family and the aircraft company that eventually would become Lockheed Martin. Heath envisaged a series of albums that would focus on different members of the family and models of aircraft developed by the company. In a series of newsletters that he sent out to family members and other interested parties, he outlined his progress on the project. Many of these individuals helped him with various aspects of the project. Unfinished versions of the albums are contained in the collection.

Much of the collection consists of copies of correspondence, documents, magazine and newspaper articles, and photographs obtained from family members, as well as other individuals and institutions. Interspersed throughout the collection there also are some originals, mainly photographs.

During his professional career Heath worked for Lockheed Aeronautical Systems, as well as several other firms. There are files for several of these, as well as other material that pertains to Heath, but not to Lockheed.

From about 1916 to 1921 the Lockheed Aircraft Company was located in Santa Barbara. The collection contains advertising, newspaper articles, photographs and other material relating to this time.
