Riksarkivet: Granges archive, Lamco dossier series
46 volumes. The catalog mentions Lamco press clippings 1961-1969, "Svart vecka pa Nimba 1966", a 1969 Booz-Allen study, contract material from 1961, and later Lamco/LIO/Swedish Lamco Syndicate files into 1977-1980. This is the strongest Swedish-side archive lead.
British Library EAP: LAMCO file in the Tubman Papers
Digitised file with 88 images: "LAMCO - Liberian American-Swedish Minerals Company, 1956-1969, undated". The BL also notes that the physical Tubman papers are stored at Indiana University until eventual return to Liberia.
British Library EAP026 survey PDF
Survey of Liberian archives. Useful because it records later Liberia-side holdings including "Proposals of Lamco, 1982" in the Presidential/National Archives.
National Museum of Industrial History: Lamco Mine
Public image entry from the Bethlehem Steel photo collection. The site also has a Liberia Mines collection and is a good Bethlehem-side visual source.
World Bank Group Archives: Lamco JV / Bong item
Catalog entry exists for "Offer to the Government of the Republic of Liberia Regarding the Preparation of a Feasibility Study on Possible Integration of Lamco J V and BMC Operation - March 5, 1982". There are related Bong iron ore sector items nearby in the same catalog.
NYPL Archives: LAMCO Iron Mines, Liberia
Publicly visible archival component titled "Liberian-American-Swedish Mining Company (LAMCO) Iron Mines, Liberia", dated November 1974, in box 14, folder 24-25. |
| Additional leads worth following |
Stanford SearchWorks: Paul Brinton Entrekin collection
Catalog entry exists for a brochure and slide collection on Bethlehem Steel operations and subsidiaries around the world. External references point to Lamco/Liberia material in the collection description, but SearchWorks can be slow to load.
Lehigh Preserve: Bethlehem Steel subsidiary histories, volume 2
Public volume in a Bethlehem Steel subsidiary-history set.
Lehigh Preserve: Bethlehem Steel subsidiary histories, volume 3
Public volume with Liberia-related Bethlehem entries in the table of contents. Useful for company-structure context even when not directly about Yekepa.
Columbia finding aid PDF
The link exists, but when checked it was behind an access-protection page rather than serving the PDF directly. Keep it as a lead, but expect an anti-bot barrier. |
| Notes |
Some archive sites may occasionally ask for extra clicks, JavaScript or a captcha before showing the full catalog entry. If a link does not open directly, it is still worth trying the archive search on that site with the same names and terms shown here.
More archive leads may be added to this page over time. |
