Royal Shaw Kellogg papers

 Collection
Call Number: MS 933

Scope and Contents

The Papers of Royal S. Kellogg reflect primarily his career as a forester and advocate for conservation, and as an executive of the American Paper and Pulp Association and the Newsprint Service Bureau. Over half of the collection consists of professional and social correspondence with other foresters and paper company officials. A good deal of the correspondence relates to the Newsprint Service Bureau, but there are also some family letters and letters of condolence to family members after Kellogg's death.

Aside from correspondence, there are several subject files of printed matter and other papers. There are mimeographed and printed leaflets issued by the Newsprint Service Bureau; a folder of printed matter, correspondence, and other papers pertaining to Kellogg's book, Newsprint Paper in North America, published in 1949, and other publications on newsprint paper; papers and correspondence with the Yale Forestry School about a memorial for B. Frank Heintzleman; and a folder of miscellaneous printed matter and other papers.

This collection is only partially processed. The correspondence and other papers have been roughly sorted, but within folders materials are in random order.

The provenance of these papers is unknown.
