OVERVIEW OF THE COLLECTION
George W. Sims Papers
Dates: 1896-1981
Extent: 5 cubic feet, 15 boxes
Abstract:
George W. Sims (1896-1986) was a tax lawyer, certified public accountant, world traveler, and
collector of pre-Columbian objects. He spent his childhood in Fairfax County, Virginia. At age
seventeen he began the study of law at the Washington College of Law (now American
University), and worked at night as a telephone company traffic manager. He was employed as a
clerk in the Panama Canal Zone by the Panama Railroad Company, Commissary Branch, from
1915-1916. Sims left Washington, D. C., because he needed money for school and received a
better salary in Latin America. “The pay was 25% higher there [Panama] than in the U.S.A.,
because the risks of Yellow Fever were great, and work and living conditions less satisfactory
than at home.” (Box 8, folder 6) This was the first of his many trips to other countries. He then
returned to Washington and graduated from law school.
Between 1918-1919 he served as sergeant first class in the aviation section of the Signal Corps.
He was stationed for a time at the Vichy (France) Hospital Center, a part of the United States
Base Army Hospital, No. 115. After the war Sims did graduate work in accounting at Benjamin
Franklin University in the District of Columbia studying at night. During the day he worked in
the Navy Department's communications section.
In 1919 Sims and a few friends traveled west on one of the early automobile trips across the
United States. In July he visited Fresno, California. He returned that same year to Washington,
D.C., and “made plans for making the West (and Fresno) his permanent home. In January, 1924,
with his wife, Sims returned for the fulfillment of those plans and thus began his long-time love
affair with the West and California.” (Scrapbooks: Vol. 38, Box 8, folder 2)
After his first wife Katherine died in 1946, Sims spent much time on world cruises. His
destinations included North, South, and Central America, Eastern and Western Europe, Africa,
Asia, and the Pacific Islands. Between 1946 and 1956 he also purchased and restored the 1832
Boronda adobe in Carmel, California.
Sims married Emma Marenchin Sims on her birthday November 2, 1971 in Santa Barbara,
California. Prior to her marriage Mrs. Sims (1914-- ) worked in the public health field after
graduating from Western Reserve University in Cleveland. She has remarked, “My world

opened up when I married George.”
Sims was a world traveler who collected objects and kept notebooks throughout his life. Native
handicraft and art objects that he collected in the United States, Europe, Africa, and South
America are part of the permanent collections in the Division of Community Life, National
Museum of American History, and the Department of Anthropology, National Museum of
Natural History.
Boronda Adobe
In 1946 Sims purchased the old Boronda adobe in the Carmel Valley of California and over the
next ten years he restored it.
The Boronda adobe was built above the Carmel River in 1832 by José Manuel Boronda on his
7,000 acre Rancho de Los Laureles land grant. José was the son of Don Manuel Boronda, the
first schoolteacher in California. José was married to Juana Cota of Santa Barbara. The sixty-
four foot long house has adobe walls twenty-seven inches thick and hand-hewn redwood beams.
Senor and Senora Boronda lived there with their fifteen children. It was in this house that Senora
Boronda, reputedly made a new cheese much liked by her neighbors and today known as
Monterey Jack cheese. She eventually produced enough to sell to the surrounding community.
The Boronda family sold the ranch and adobe to Nathan W. Spaulding in the late 1860s or early
1870s. He was a mayor of Oakland, California. The next owner was the Pacific Improvement
Company in the early 1880s, the forerunner of Del Monte Properties Company. A small cheese
factory was built to commercialize the product under the name "Monterey Jack." Nevertheless,
the adobe eventually became abandoned as a house. Before Sims purchased it the adobe was
used as a shelter for dairy cows.
Sims plastered the outside walls to protect the soft adobe bricks and whitewashed the interior
walls. The original dirt floor was covered with a floor of two-inch clear, heart redwood, random
planks. It slopes downhill as does the roof of the house. In fact the entire house follows the
topography of the site. Sims left several cables stretching across the crudely raftered ceiling to
support the walls.
Sims reroofed the house with one hundred year old roof tiles from the old Vasquez adobe in
Monterey, California. He also constructed a workshop on the cement foundation of the old
cheese factory and milk barn, added a carport, and built a fence protected patio of the Mexican
type, adjacent to a Spanish garden with gravel paths. The patio walls were made of adobe
created from Carmel Valley soil.
The first floor of the adobe consists of a long living room, a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bath.
An inside staircase was added and leads to the second floor living room, two bedrooms, and a
bath. All of the rooms on the main floor are on a different level. The kitchen at one end of the
house is thought to date to the 1790s when the land belonged to the Carmel Mission.

Scope and Content
These Papers document Sims's activities as a traveler and his interest in historic restoration. It
consists of forty-one notebooks, Series 1-4; and three boxes, Series 5-9, of personal papers and
ephemera. Series 5-7 are particularly valuable for biographical information. Series 10 includes
6,000 color slides, a smaller number of photographic prints, and forty-one stereo view cards. The
total volume of the collection is approximately eleven linear feet.
The notebooks cover the years 1896, 1908-1913, 1918, and 1934-1976. They are filled with
Sims's reminiscences, sketches, notes, and commentary on his life and travels. The subjects
include visits to several National Parks, the Boronda adobe, and travel on most continents.
Sims's writing and commentary in these notebooks is documentary in style and has some literary
quality. It is perceptive in detail. There are observations on the people and architecture of
various cities and locations throughout the world.
The 6,000 35mm slides that Sims took between 1944 and 1976 portray the use of the automobile
in travel, national and international touring, and family travel. They are organized by either trip
or location. They document his collecting, research, and restoration interests, and compliment
his written and artistic work. In technique, Sims's photographs are at least a cut above amateur
photography. The slides remain in the order in which the Archives Center received them. In
some cases they are organized, captioned and numbered as a slide program. In other cases, while
they are captioned they are not part of a specific slide program that Sims organized. Usually the
identification in the Detailed Container List represents Sims' own captions, which have been
copied from the slide sleeves.
While some images are personal, the majority form a documentary record of various subjects and
places. All the slides are dated and labeled or captioned, either on box inserts or on the slides
themselves. The slides are generally organized by trip. Of particular interest is the
documentation of Sims's restoration of the Boronda adobe. These slides are well captioned and
show the step by step process.
The slides include many early Kodachromes from the 1940s in excellent condition. These
represent the few examples of this type in the Museum. Although these slides are not
extraordinarily rare, they are a very early example of the color process.
There are also black and white prints and a few color prints. Some of these document a motoring
trip along the California coast in the 1930s. All the black-and-white prints portray an individual's
concern to document his travels adequately and in a meaningful way.
The three document boxes of supplemental material includes articles, correspondence (for
example, a letter to Sims from the Henry Ford Museum thanking him for donating an oral history

of a motoring trip he had taken), business cards, certificates of achievement, hotel ephemera,
news clippings (Series 12), published travel accounts, printed travel brochures, and audio tapes
(Series 11), on which Sims recounts many of his trips over the years. This material is valuable
because it provides biographical information on Sims. It also may be useful for exhibits and
research. Much of the material—the hotel ephemera and the printed travel brochures and
accounts—is similar to ephemera in the Warshaw Collection.
Sims's photographs are similar in content to two other collections in the Archives Center. The
Clyde W. Stauffer Family Photographic Album portrays family automobile trips across the
United States between 1935 and 1940. The Donald Sultner-Welles Collection of travel slides
documents locations throughout the United States and around the world.
