The Humble Bee was a magazine for employees of Humble Oil and Refining Company. Baytown Briefs was a publication specific to employees at the Baytown plants, first for Humble Oil and later on for Exxon USA and ExxonMobil.
Sterling Municipal Library owns copies of these publications over a range of years dating as far back as 1921 and as recently as 1997. The library does not own every issue of the publications. Baytown Briefs has been indexed from 1953-1958.
Digtitization of this index was made possible by several volunteers, both teen and adult.
