This series includes unbound copies of the annual report of the Mining Department of Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. There are also printed and bound office copies along with a few condensed versions of the annual report of the Board of Managers to the stockholders. There are several annual reports on appropriations for mine development and operation jobs and also a 1923 annual report of the stockholders of the Lehigh and New England Railroad Company.

There is correspondence, 1942-1948, concerning annual reports, specifically, letters from servicemen (previous employees of LCNC) commenting on copies of the annual report that the company sent to them. A small group of annual reports, 1941-1952, from domestic and foreign coal companies and other manufacturers is included. Reports are generally arranged chronologically.
