- Scope and Content
- The George Blackburn Kinkead papers (dated 1905-1940; 0.6 cubic feet; 2 boxes) contain addresses and scrapbooks belonging to George Blackburn Kinkead, a Lexington, Kentucky attorney. The addresses concern politics (Kentucky politics and the tariff), religion (Reflections of an Agnostic) and genealogy. One scrapbook (1937-1939) is concerned with Kinkead's birthdays and the other contains information on Princeton class reunions, Democratic politics, Woodrow Wilson, Kinkead family members, and numerous obituaries of central Kentuckians. The clippings in the second scrapbook are pasted over an account book, except the last twenty-four pages of the book, which gives finances for 1910-1912.
