Scope and Content NoteThe papers of John Adams Kingsbury (1876-1956) span the years 1841-1966 with the bulk of the material concentratedbetween 1906 and 1939. The papers relate primarily to his professional and avocational activities as a social reformer andpublic health advocate beginning with his efforts to improve the conditions of public institutions in New York andprogressing to Eastern European relief work. The papers also include a significant amount of family material.

Part I

Part I of the papers of John Adams Kingsbury spans the years 1883 to 1935, with the bulk of the material concentrated inthe period 1910-1917. The papers are arranged in four series: General Correspondence, Personal Correspondence, WritingsFile, and Miscellany.

The General Correspondence documents Kingsbury's career as commissioner of public charities of New York City duringthe administration of Mayor John Purroy Mitchel, 1914-1918, and the seven years preceding it, 1907-1913, whenKingsbury was assistant secretary of state charities in New York and director of the New York Association for Improvingthe Condition of the Poor.

The Personal Correspondence contains letters relating to Kingsbury's private life as well as speeches, invitations, andcongratulations while he held office as commissioner and attended Columbia University Teachers' College. Correspondentsinclude Alexander Graham Bell, Louis Dembitz Brandeis, Bailey B. Burritt, Homer Folks, Harry Lloyd Hopkins, ElbertHubbard, Charles Evans Hughes, Harold L. Ickes, Walter Lippmann, Henry Morgenthau (1856-1946), Gifford Pinchot, andJacob A. Riis.

The Writings File contains texts, correspondence, and background material for Kingsbury's speeches on topics of publichealth and charitable organizations. Also included are the text and notes for a thesis.

The Miscellany series includes biographical information about Kingsbury, a diary, photographs, school papers, notes, andprinted material.

Part II

Part II of the Kingsbury Papers spans the years 1841-1963 with the bulk of the material concentrated between 1918 and1939. The papers are arranged in eight series supplementing and relating to the same general topics as Part I: Journals andTravel Notes; Family Correspondence; General Correspondence; Professional File; Subject File; Speech, Article, and BookFile; Financial Papers; and Miscellany.

The Journals and Travel Notes record Kingsbury's observations on trips taken chiefly for professional reasons. Of note arehis journeys to the Soviet Union in 1932 and 1951 and to the People's Republic of China in 1952 to study public health andwelfare in socialist countries. Other journeys, including pleasure trips, are also documented.

The Family Correspondence contains letters exchanged between Kingsbury's parents and grandparents in the nineteenthcentury as well as letters to his immediate family. Subjects include politics, social concerns, and observations of foreigncultures.


The General Correspondence contains Kingsbury's letters with friends and colleagues. In some instances letters concerningan individual but not written to or by Kingsbury are found interfiled with the person's correspondence. Kingsbury's politicalinterests are documented in correspondence with Charles C. Burlingham, Harry Lloyd Hopkins, Harold L. Ickes, FrancesD. Perkins, Gifford Pinchot, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, and Aubrey Williams. His associations withpublic health and medical experts include Paul de Kruif, Homer Folks, Sir Arthur Newsholme, René Sand, and WilliamHenry Welch.

The Professional File reflects Kingsbury's association with several humanitarian organizations. The American Red Crossand Young Men's Christian Association files relate to his work in France from 1918 to 1919. Working through theAmerican Red Cross, Kingsbury supervised the dispersal of funds provided by Elizabeth Milbank Anderson and otherAmericans who aided French civilians during the final German offensive of World War I. Kingsbury directed the YMCAArmy Educational Commission whose mandate was to provide courses in citizenship for American troops in France. Thefile chiefly concerns setting up the operation and contains almost no mention of the educational work itself.

In 1920 Kingsbury took charge of the Serbian Child Welfare Association of America, which was also supported by moneyfrom the Milbank family. Material in the Professional File describes attempts to alleviate the plight of the Serbs during andafter World War I. Herbert Hoover was a frequent correspondent. Kingsbury also supervised the America-YugoslavSociety, which had programs similar to those of the Serbian Child Welfare Association of America. The file describesactivities of the organization, such as fund-raising, dinners, and lecture tours, but contains very little about programs carriedout in Yugoslavia.

As secretary and managing director of the Milbank Memorial Fund, Kingsbury promoted a national health program. Theensuing controversy with the American Medical Association led to his dismissal in 1935. Many programs carried out by thefund, especially those in Cattaragus County, New York, are described in detail. With the completion of his work for theMilbank Fund, Kingsbury became a special consultant to Harry Lloyd Hopkins. Of special interest is a settlement projectwhereby farmers from northern parts of the Midwest colonized Mantanuska, Alaska.

The Subject File documents Kingsbury's interests and avocations and includes considerable family material supplementingthe Family Correspondence series. Subjects include astronomy, farming, mushroom culture, public health and diseasecontrol, socialist organizations, and travel.

The Speech, Article, and Book File contains Kingsbury's writings on Eastern European relief efforts, the control and cure oftuberculosis, socialized medicine, and group health insurance. A large section relates to his unpublished autobiography.Material includes texts, drafts, notes, research material, and related correspondence.

Financial papers include records of Kingsbury's real estate, income and expenses, investments, taxes, and insurance. Asignificant portion of this file deals with the maintenance of his farm "Lavorika" in the Catskill Mountains of New York.

Among the Miscellany are address books, certificates and diplomas, invitations, letters and notebooks of Kingsbury'smother, Annie, condolence letters, notes, poetry, printed material regarding eastern European and the Soviet Union, publichealth, socialism, programs, sketches and drawings, testimonials, trip souvenirs, and a card file of speech notes.

Part III

Part III of the Kingsbury Papers spans the years 1849-1966, with the bulk of the material concentrated in the periodbetween 1906 and 1934. The papers are arranged in five series: Family Correspondence; General Correspondence;Professional File; Speech, Article, and Book File; and Miscellany.

A large section of Family Correspondence contains letters of condolence written upon the death of John Adams Kingsbury,Jr., at the age of eighteen. The family's endeavors to establish scholarships and other memorials in his name are welldocumented. Another section contains letters written by Kingsbury to his future wife while he was attending ColumbiaUniversity in New York City. The file also includes nineteenth-century letters written by Kingsbury's relatives.

General correspondence consists of letters sent to and received from Kingsbury's friends and colleagues. Correspondentsinclude Jane Addams, Bailey B. Burritt, Mary E. Dreier, Albert Einstein, Homer Folks, Jack London, Henry Morgenthau(1856-1946), Sir Arthur Newsholme, Gifford Pinchot, Jacob A. Riis, Raymond Robins, Franklin D. Roosevelt, andTheodore Roosevelt.


The Professional File documents Kingsbury's involvement in public welfare and in the Progressive party from World War Iinto the 1920s. Papers relating to his work as commissioner of public charities in New York City supplements the materialin Part I. A significant portion pertains to the investigation conducted by Charles H. Strong into allegations of fraud,corruption, and mismanagement of public welfare institutions in New York state. Progressive party material includescorrespondence, proposed legislation, platforms, and material related to fund-raising activities.

The Speech, Article, and Book File contains drafts of articles, and Kingsbury's book, Health in Handcuffs, pamphlets, andspeeches written by Kingsbury and others. There is also material relating to his unpublished autobiography.

Miscellany includes address books, certificates, diaries, invitations, newspaper clippings, notes, and printed material.
