Collection Overview
- Biography / History
- Judge Samuel Mackay Wilson (1871-1946) was a Lexington attorney and author. He was also a collector of books, manuscripts, maps, and photographs. Wilson's main area of interest was early Kentucky history. Wilson's most famous case was his defense of Kentucky Secretary of State Caleb Powers. Powers was charged in connection with the assassination of Kentucky Governor William Goebel in 1899. After serving as a judge-advocate during World War I, Wilson returned to Kentucky, where he established a successful law practice.
- Judge Wilson served on numerous civic commissions, where he was active in historical preservation. Wilson played an important role in the preservation of the Henry Clay Estate, Blue Licks Battlefield, and Fort Boonesboro. Wilson organized the Cakes and Ale Club, an annual gathering of Lexingtonians interested in book collecting. He was also a member of the Book Thieves, an organization of local historians and educators who were influential in the creation and development of Special Collections and Archives at the University of Kentucky.
- After Wilson's death in 1946, his extensive collection of books, photographs, and personal papers were donated to the University of Kentucky. The Wilson Collection is the foundation on which Special Collections and Archives has been built. Following Mrs. Wilson's death in 1959, the items which she had retained were added to the collection.
- Scope and Content
- The Wilson family photographs (circa 1840s-1948, undated; 4 cubic feet; 1014 items) depict Kentucky events, architecture, and portraits. Included are images relating to Judge Wilson's work with historic preservation, the Books Thieves, and portraits of the Shelby family. Photographic processes represented in the collection include: daguerreotypes, tintypes, ambrotypes, silver prints, engravings, and newspaper clippings.
