Wallace and Adam Limited was formed in 1950 when Wallace Brothers purchased a half share in the Adam Trading (Kenya) Limited who were importers of agricultural equipment. Ol Pejeta Ranching Company Limited was based on a 100,000 acre ranch in Kenya, formerly owned by Lord Delamere, in which Wallace and Adam Limited invested in. A.L.P.F Wallace was made a director. Pyrita Limited was a Wallace and Adam venture for the cultivation of pyrethrum crops.

These archives were deposited as part of the archives of Wallace Brothers; deposited in Guildhall Library in 1974-6. The deposits were converted to a gift in 1988.
