Archer Butler Hulbert was born January 26, 1873, in Bennington, Vermont, the son of Calvin Butler Hulbert and Mary Woodward. His father was a clergyman and president of Middlebury College in Vermont from 1875 to 1880. His older brother Henry Woodward Hulbert was also a clergyman and educator. Other family members included a brother Homer B. and sisters Gertrude H. Wylie, Anne H. Boehne, and Mary H. Rogers.
Archer Hulbert was educated at St. Johnsbury Academy in Vermont where he was a classmate of Calvin Coolidge. He graduated from Marietta College in Ohio in 1895. Hulbert also studied at Western Reserve, Chicago, Wisconsin, Columbia and Harvard Universities as well as in London and Paris. At Harvard Hulbert studied under Frederick Jackson Turner whose frontier thesis he later popularized in his books. In 1929 Hulbert was awarded an honorary doctorate from Middlebury College in Vermont, and in 1930, Marietta College offered him an honorary L. H. D.
After graduating from Marietta College, Hulbert became vice-principal of Putnam Military Academy in Zanesville, Ohio. In 1897 he joined his brother Homer in Seoul, Korea, and became editor of The Korean Independent. Upon returning to America in 1898 Hulbert became interested in pioneer migrations. He made a special study of trails and roads over which early expeditions and pioneer movements were made. His first book on the subject was Red Men's Roads published in 1900. The Old National Road was published the following year.
Hulbert's first teaching job was at the University of Chicago for a summer session in 1904. In the fall of that year he returned to Marietta College as professor of American history, a position he held for fourteen years. Shortly after arriving at Marietta College, Hulbert completed his sixteen volume series on the historic highways of America.
During his years at Marietta, Professor Hulbert did research on George Washington, lectured on the economics of good roads for the United States Department of Agriculture, and served as archivist for the Harvard Commission on Western History from 1912-1916. He also organized the Mariettta Historical Commis- sion.
About 1917 Hulbert began lecturing for the War Work Council of YMCA. From 1918 to 1920 he taught at Clark University in Worcester, Mass. During this period he developed a syllabus for teaching about U.S. involvement in World War I.
In 1920 Hulbert was appointed professor of history at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. He interested himself in the western pioneer trails over which he traveled gathering notes and reminiscences of the pioneers still living. In 1925 his friend and fellow Vermonter, Philip Battell Stewart, a trustee of Colorado College, and Stewart's wife Frances Cowles Stewart, founded the Stewart Commission of Western History and appointed Hulbert director. As director Hulbert initiated an ambitious project under the general title of Overland to the Pacific. By 1933 three volumes of the series had been published. Five other volumes were completed after his death under the editorship of his wife Dorothy Printup Hulbert (later Dorothy Bryson).
In 1929 the Vermont Historical Commission compiled a bibliography of Hulbert's works. The bibliography contains about 100 items including larger works, pamphlets, and periodical contributions. When Hulbert published Forty Niners in 1931 he was awarded the Atlantic Monthly Prize of $5000.00. As a result of his work in publishing the Crown Collection of American maps he was made a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
Besides the professorships Hulbert held lectureships at Harvard, Columbia, Chicago, Western Reserve and Wisconsin Universities, and Pomona College. He was a member of several historical associations.
Archer Butler Hulbert married Mary Ellizabeth Stacy, September 10, 1901. Two daughters were born to them, Marian Elizabeth (Mrs. Floyd R. Parks) and Katherine Wheelock (formerly Mrs. Hugh Honnen, now Dr. Katherine W. Wheelock). Mary Elizabeth died in 1920. In 1923 Hulbert married Miss Dorothy Printup, an instructor in classical languages at Colorado College. They had two daughters, Nancy (Mrs. Karl R. Olsen) and Joanne (Mrs. Robert W. Yeager).
Hulbert died at his home in Colorado Springs, December 24, 1933, and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in the same city.

The Archer Butler Hulbert Papers consist of a wide variety of materials covering most of Hulbert's life. Family and business correspondence, diaries, scrapbooks, account books, photographic prints, lantern slides, printed and original maps, postal cards, periodicals, notes, publications, published and unpublished manuscripts, and memorabilia are contained in the collection.
Family correspondence forms a major part of the collection. Letters from Hulbert to his parents and siblings, their letters to him, and to each other are included. Hulbert's childhood letters are in the collection as well as letters received by his widow at the time of his death.
Business correspondence regarding his various publications are a part of the collection, as well as correspondence of the Stewart Commission on Western History. A few of the letters are from well known Americans such as Theodore Roosevelt, Charles G. Dawes, Calvin Coolidge, Woodrow Wilson, Owen Wister, Emerson Hough, Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Frederick Jackson Turner and others. Numerous letters to librarians, historians, and curators of historical societies throughout the country are part of the collection.
Hulbert's writings concentrated on canals, rivers, roads, trails, forts, the life of George Washington, and the westward movement. During his later years his attention centered on the publication of documentary materials related to the westward movement such as the letters of Narcissa Whitman. Thus, the collection contains not only the manuscripts of published works in these subject areas, but numerous typescripts and photocopies of documents which he planned to publish. Postal cards, lantern slides, maps, and photographs are also illustrative of these subject areas.
Of particular interest are the items related to Hulbert's year in Korea, 1897-98, during which he was editor of The Korean Independent. A scrapbook containing clippings of the editorials Hulbert wrote during that period, is part of the collection. Also included are some items written by Hulbert's brother Homer during the same period.
For several of his earlier works, Hulbert maintained scrapbooks of clippings of reviews, correspondence, announcements and memorabilia connected with his publications. Eleven of these scrapbooks are in the collection.
Books received with this collection have been cataloged, and may be located through the Tutt Library On-Line catalog. The library has almost all of Hulbert's independent works, and many of his articles.
Most of the photographic negatives which arrived with this collection were found to be nitrate-based film, and in poor condition. Many were badly curled. Only a few in good condition were retained with the collection.
The printed maps other than the Crown maps, and a few clippings of maps, were also removed from the collection, and placed with the other Special Collection maps for better storage.
Every attempt has been made to place related materials together in the collection. However, because of the large volume of materials and the many different formats within the collection, related materials may be placed apart. Researchers are encouraged to search the entire inventory for items pertinent to their study.
Additional information concerning Hulbert's life and work may be found in the collection file. A complete description of the Crown Collection of American Maps is also contained there. For access to this file, please request the assistance of the Special Collections staff.

This addition to the Hulbert Collection consists of notes, manuscript fragments, some correspondence and miscellaneous material related to the publication of The Forty-Niners and the Stewart Commission Series. Some of the items relate to the Colorado College career of Mrs. Hulbert, including some lecture notes and correspondence.
In Part I of the collection duplicates of manuscripts pages were removed. Since identification of manuscript fragments in this group proved too time consuming, all of the fragments have been retained.
