Abstract
The Golden Eagle River Museum Collection consists of records, photographs and memorabilia related to the Golden Eagle River Museum, which operated out of Bee Tree Park in St. Louis County, Missouri, as well as the Golden Eagle River Club, a social club geared around the group’s love of the inland rivers of the United States. In addition to the records related to the club and the museum, the collection also contains photographs, records, and artifacts related to the inland rivers transportation system of the United States, and the boats and people that worked them.

Scope and Contents note

The Golden Eagle River Museum contains documents, photographs, film, memorabilia, publications and artifacts related to the Golden Eagle River Museum and the inland waterways of the United States.

The records and publications of the Golden Eagle River Museum consist of operational records, such as inventories, ledgers and programming; publicity information and historical notes and clippings regarding the Museum; and legal information such as bylaws, incorporation materials, and leases. Publications in the collection consist of the Golden Eagle River Museum’s publications: All Aboard in the 1940s and 1950s, and the Paddlewheel from the 1970s – 2000s. The publications housed in the collection are not a complete run.

The photographs in the collection contain photos of the Golden Eagle Museum and associated personalities, as well as events and programming put on by the Museum or the Club. There are also photographs representing hundreds of inland river vessels from steamboats to motor vessels, and photographs of persons and places important to the inland rivers, such as captains, deckhands, river towns and companies.

Many of the river-related records are clippings related to specific vessels, people or places on the inland rivers, but the records also contain bills of lading, correspondence, log books, menus, post cards, drawings, plans, biographies, holiday cards and certificates.

The Music of the Golden Eagle Collection consists of albums related to the inland rivers.

Ledgers and Scrapbooks in the Golden Eagle Collection include vessel logs, company ledgers, clippings collections, and photographic collections related Golden Eagle member trips.

The Media of the collection consist almost entirely of 8mm reels of film of trips taken by Club and Museum members, and film footage of the inland rivers.

Objects housed in the collection are related to the Golden Eagle River Museum; printer cuts, paperweights and the like.
