Biographical Sketch

James Harvey Holdeman was a geologist primarily involved in the location and production of oil and gas from shallow producing pools, and in the promotion of investment in these. Focusing on north, central and south-central Texas, he operated throughout Texas and parts of the midwest and southwest United States.

He was involved in the formation and management of several petroleum related companies. In 1917 he served as a trustee for the Moran-Putnam Oil and Gas Company, based in Moran, Texas. In 1920 he became a trustee of the American Petroleum Producing Company, headquartered in Waco, Texas. In the late 1920s he was president of the Geological Petroleum Corporation of Fort Worth. One of his major associations was with the Atlantic Pacific Corporation of Austin, Texas. Chartered in 1933, Holdeman served on the board of directors for several years. In 1949 he formed his own company, Holdeman Petroleum Corporation, of San Antonio, Texas. He was on its board of directors until the early fifties when it became inactive. Holdeman Oil and Minerals, also of San Antonio, was probably his last venture. It was active through the mid-fifties. In addition to his duties as a corporate officer, Holdeman also promoted the stocks and securities of Atlantic Pacific Corporation and Holdeman Petroleum Corporation. James H. Holdeman died in San Antonio, Texas, on September 26, 1963.

Scope and Contents of the Papers

The James Harvey Holdeman Papers cover the years 1879-1965. The bulk of the materials is concerned with Holdeman's oil and gas interests during 1920-1950. The small amount of correspondence deals with Holdeman's offerings of stocks and securities. The legal documents consist largely of charters and by laws for some of Holdeman's corporations. The majority of the collection consists of maps showing Holdeman's oil and gas interests. Geological surveys and reports, including field notes; reports of oil and gas companies; and promotional materials are also present.

Included in this collection are the papers of a fellow geologist, F. M. Van Keuren, whose files include correspondence, geological surveys, and maps.

Fuller descriptions of the maps in the Holdeman papers are found in the State Archives Map Collection database [http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/arc/maps/index.html].
