NOTES ON THE COLLECTION: This
extensive collection, donated by the estate of former Library Director Ruth
Blackinton Browne and including much material collected by her father, William
Blackinton Browne, contains photographs, both personal and genealogical
correspondence, memoirs, deeds and legal papers, newsclippings, manuscripts,
journals, scrapbooks and maps. Many of
the maps have been removed to the Special Collections flat file (FF). The collection also contained numerous post
cards which have been removed and added the Postcard Collection, and are listed
in its database; and materials on the Hoosac Tunnel, which have been relocated
to boxes with the Hoosac Tunnel Collection and listed in that collection’s
finding aids. All are attributed to the
R. B. Browne Collection.
HISTORICAL NOTES:
Ruth Blackinton
Browne was born in North Adams
on July 17, 1913 to William Bradford Browne and Ruth Harriet (Blackinton)
Browne. Her father, who served for many
years as the Northern Berkshire Register of Deeds, was an avid local historian
and highly respected genealogist who wrote numerous pamphlets and articles
about the area. She graduated from Drury High School
in 1931, and attended Simmons School of Library Science in Boston, receiving her B.A. in 1937. She served as the North Adams Public
Library’s Children’s Librarian from 1938 to 1941. She then left the community to become
Children’s Librarian at the Providence,
RI. Library (1942-1944) and the Schenectady, NY
library (1945-1950). She returned to North Adams in 1951 to
care for her parents. She served as Head
Librarian of the North Adams Public Library from 1955 to 1976. She died March 22, 2002. In addition, she was very active in the
Congregational Church, Hoosac Tunnel Centennial Committee, Historical
Commission, Main Street Beautification project, Council on Aging and Salvation
Army Advisory Board.
Ms. Browne was a
descendant of Sanford Blackinton, builder of the Houghton Mansion
in which the library is housed, and Gov. William Bradford, governor of the
Massachusetts Plymouth Colony. Her
father was son of Charles A. Browne, who invented the electric fuse used in
construction of the Hoosac Tunnel.
MATERIALS – GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The collection
contains items that were in the personal possession of Ruth Blackinton Browne
and donated to the North Adams Public Library after her death in 2002. Some of what she had belonged to her father,
William Bradford Browne, who was an avid genealogist and local historian. Among the collection are original notes and
deeds dating from the 1800s (some but not all have been specifically
identified), many old family photographs, and correspondence from family
members dating from the 1800s. There is
a collection of items relating to Elihu Hawkes, a local doctor who also had
connections with the First Congregational Church. There are many original deeds and notes in
connection with property he owned and miscellaneous manuscripts that Hawkes had
written. There is much valuable
genealogical information that William Bradford Browne had collected and
compiled, included are old newspaper accounts and obituaries. As often as possible, the family names are identified
in this finding aid. Many have
connections to the local history.
Ruth Browne was an
active member of the First Congregational Church and collected many items of
interest regarding the history of the church as well as the Church’s Coral
Club. In addition, Ms. Browne served on
several reunion committees for Drury
High School and collected
information for the classes of 1912, 1925 and 1931, including pictures. Because Ruth was also a librarian at the
North Adams Public Library (1955 – 1976), she collected information on the
library itself. This includes numerous newspaper
articles over the years.
