The Beaver Coal Corporation (later Beaver Coal Company, Limited) was co-founded by Anthony J. Drexel, Logan Bullitt, and J.P. Morgan sometime after 1889. It owned land in Raleigh County, West Virginia, and leased coal mining and logging rights to other companies. Later, the company also leased natural gas reserves and leased portions of its surface property for farming, commercial, and individual use. The records include Board of Directors minutes, 1908-1959, and a ledger, 1942-1947.
