Administrative Information
| ABOUT THE COLLECTION | |
| Acquisition: | Donated to the John Nicholas Brown Center by the heirs of John Nicholas Brown in 1992. Transferred to the John Hay Library at Brown University in 2007. |
| Processing information: | Originally, these materials were housed in John Nicholas Brown's offices at 50 South Main Street, Providence, RI. When current, the correspondence and accounts payable in this collection was filed alphabetically within the family's central office files; all volumes pertaining to the financial aspects of Brown family businesses and trusts were stored in a different location. Legal documents and tax record were tri-folded and stored separately in specially outfitted steel cabinets. As records became non-current, they were stored randomly at 50 South Main Street in a variety of cartons, files and wrapped bundles. The collection was arranged in the current series by staff at the John Nicholas Brown Center after it was donated in 1992. |
