Rhode Island Hospital Trust Company ledgers (sp9.0)

Historical note

The Lyra Brown Nickerson bequest of 1916 led Rhode Island School of Design to transfer financial management from the Metcalf family's Wanskuck Company to the Rhode Island Hospital Trust Company in 1917. The RIHT recorded the financial transactions until RISD established the Business Office in 1937. Management of capital and endowment funds remained with the RIHT.
