Abstract
The Beaumont Chamber of Commerce was organized January 22, 1903 at a meeting
attended by at least 165 people shortly after the Lucas Oil gusher was discovered in
1901. The subsequent activity at the Spindletop Hill oil field brought increased
population and interest to the city, necessitating a chamber of commerce. The Chamber
has been instrumental in the promotion and development of Beaumont and its industry,
including the Port of Beaumont and the deep water (Neches River) shipping channel. It
has produced surveys, reports of conditions, and guidelines for Beaumont and its
business sector to determine course of action on many important issues. The Chamber
has also produced promotional material to invite industry, tourism, and increased
population to the city of Beaumont. The Beaumont Chamber of Commerce publications
reported on business trends and issues in Beaumont and the nation. Many of the
photographs in the Chamber's collection were used for publications and reports while
others were taken to document conditions and events in the city.
Call number: AC -068.

Biographical/ Historical Note
The Beaumont Chamber of Commerce formed during the height of the first Spindletop
oil boom, on January 23, 1903. 165 individuals signed on as charter members. The
Beaumont Chamber of Commerce began an active program of initiating, and
participating in, capitalist economic development projects. Much of the Chamber's early
work was promotional, such as organization of the Southeast Texas State Fair in 1904
and promotion of the oil industry in the 1920s. During the 1950s and 1960s, the
Chamber commissioned industrial studies and continued promotional efforts. In 1970,
however, new leadership put an end to what it called "ceremonial functions" and moved
the Chamber forward in a new program of action.
Various committees carried out Chamber projects, including the Fiftieth Anniversary
Celebration of the Lucas Gusher (1951). An extensive collection of publications
thoroughly record Chamber activities and publicity efforts. The photograph collection
provides a fascinating look at area industry and downtown Beaumont.
Collection Scope and Content Note
The Beaumont Chamber of Commerce has produced surveys, reports of activities and
conditions for Beaumont and its business sector to determine course of action on many
important issues. The Chamber has also produced promotional material to invite
industry, tourism, and increased population to the city of Beaumont. The Beaumont
Chamber of Commerce magazines and newsletters reported on business trends and
issues in Beaumont and the nation. Many of the photographs in the Chamber's
collection were used for publications and reports while others were taken to document
conditions and events in the city.
The Beaumont Chamber of Commerce records consist of Beaumont photographs,
negatives, and slides; newspaper articles and press releases; studies, surveys, reports,
promotional books and brochures; programs and invitations; maps and drawings;
Beaumont Chamber of Commerce newsletters, magazines and other magazine articles
of the Beaumont area; and rosters and directories of members' businesses and
products in the form of buyers guides.
