The Western Pulp and Paper Manufacturers Uniform Labor Agreements consist of materials collected by labor attorney Lewis K. Scott that document the union contracts and rules for sixty-seven mills and paper processing operations located thoughout the Pacific Northwest, California, and Arizona.

Employees covered by these labor agreements were represented by International United Papermakers and Paperworkers, International Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulfite and Paper Mill Workers, Pacific Coast Association of Pulp and Paper Manufacturers, and the Association of Western Pulp and Paper Workers. Included among the companies whose mills and plants are featured in these agreements are: Crown Zellerbach, Boise Cascade, Simpson Paper Company, and Weyerhaeuser Corporation.

Lewis Kelly Scott was born Sept. 12, 1928, to Clarence Kelly Scott and Laura Duerner Scott in Scottsbluff, Nebraska.  His family moved to Portland, Oregon, when he was an infant.  Scott graduated from Grant High School before attending Stanford for college (BA, 1950) and law school (LL.B, 1952).

He married his high school sweetheart, Janice Lee Gildow on December 27, 1950, in Portland.  The couple had one daughter, Kelly.

Shortly after their wedding, Lewis and Janice moved to Europe for Scott’s job in the Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG Corps).  They returned to Portland in 1957 when Scott became a partner specializing in labor law with Koerner, Young, McColloch & Dezendorf.  Scott likely collected these uniform labor agreements in the course of his career.  He represented the Associated General Contractors of the State of Oregon and Southwest Washington for many years.  Scott retired in 1999.

He passed away April 10, 2020.
