From 1926 to 1932 Hutchisson worked in the office of his father, Clarence L. Hutchisson Sr. Between 1940 and 1945, Hutchisson trained as an engineer and would serve as chief architect for the Mobile Corps of Engineers.

Much of this genealogical correspondence took place with his cousin Annie Homer Wilson and pertains to the Homer family in Nova Scotia, Canada. Hutchisson died in December 1993. Scope and Contents: This collection contains etching plates, news clippings, a scrapbook, and the business stamp of Clarence L. Hutchisson Jr. In addition, the collection is made up of a wide selection of correspondence, both business and private, contracts, building specifications, blueprints, and other related architectural documents.

Mims Papers Dates: 1820-2003 (bulk 1965-1989) Quantity: 160.5 linear feet Abstract: Papers agendas, audio tapes, books, campaign material, correspondence, flyers, legal material, magazines, maps, negatives, news clippings, notes, pamphlets, photographs, plaques, reports, slides, speeches, and video tapes. Covers a multitude of local subjects typically found within such political collections. Accession: 06-09-459 ; 459-2006 Biographical Note: Lambert C. Mims was born in 1930 in Uriah, Alabama. He moved to Mobile, Alabama, in 1949 and worked as a salesman before co-founding, a year later, a feed company, and, in 1965, branching out on his own. Lambert Mims was public works commissioner and rotating mayor of Mobile from 1965 to 1985. During Mims' time as mayor/commissioner, the city of Mobile experienced the latter part of the modern civil rights movement, completed the Bayway, and unveiled the George C. Wallace Tunnel. It opened Mobile Greyhound Park and saw the Southern Market/City Hall designated a national historic landmark. It reconstructed and opened Fort Condé and celebrated the nation's bicentennial. It witnessed the devastating destruction of hurricanes Camille and Frederic and saw the first oil well drilled in the bay. It witnessed the completion of the I-65 link across the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and celebrated the opening of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. When first elected, Mims was the youngest city commissioner in Mobile's history. Upon leaving office, Governor George Wallace appointed Mims as his ambassador to the Alabama Waterways Development Agency, a position he held from 1985 until March 1987, and one in which he promoted the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.
