George Fisher Baker COMMITTEE ON THE HISTORY OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM I Register of Papers Processed: IB Date: 10/25/55 Add: MA, 11/18/55 GEORGE FISHER BAKER (18^0 - 1931) The papers of George F. Baker, Chairman of the Board of the First National Bank offlewlork from 1909 to 1931, are in the hands of the family, with some of them deposited in the George F» Baker Trust at 2 Wall Street, New York City. Linear feet of shelf space occupied (or other measure): Probably three trunks full Approximate number of items: It is mostly "family stuff," which is on file with the George F. Baker Trust of which Mr. Sheridan Logan is executive secfetary. It is likely that these, like the papers in the hands of the family, will eventually go to Harvard. Approximate number of items: None of the papers are now available for public use, but are intact and will not be discarded. According to Mr. Logan, there is enough material for a biography of Mr. Baker, but Mr. Bakers1 s tradition of reticence still governs. Permission for use of the papers may be difficult to obtain. The present Mr. George F. Baker, a grandson, is with the First National City Bank.
