This collection consists of research materials on the natural gas industry compiled by Christopher Castaneda. He is the author of four books that cover many aspects of the industry, including its history, particular companies and pipelines, and the development of regulation. Thus, there is detailed information on all of these subjects. The specific companies represented range in size from small regional operations to large corporations, including Coastal Corporation, Duke Energy, Enron, Panhandle Eastern, Texas Eastern Transmission, and Transcontinental Gas Pipeline. Also included is information about regulatory legislation and commissions established for regulatory purposes. There is material about participation of the industry in the war effort in the 1940’s. A number of individuals prominent in natural gas development are represented in the collection by correspondence. Finally, the collection includes five video recordings, mostly of Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s Officers’ and Directors’ meetings.
