Collections
This collection contains internal corporate documents from the United States Tobacco Company, the largest manufacturer of moist snuff smokeless tobacco products in the US and producer of the well-known brands, Skoal and Copenhagen. UST is now owned by Altria, parent company of Philip Morris.
Most of the documents were made available through the Smokeless Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement's provision for public access to company documents and were scanned by Roswell Park Cancer Institute and given to the Truth Tobacco Industry Documents (formerly Legacy Tobacco Documents Library) in 2008.
The UST Collection also contains a small set of documents from the 2007 Wisconsin Smokeless Tobacco class action settlement case, Feuerabend v UST, Inc, regarding product placement and marketing practices.
