Biographical History
John Griswold White (1845-1928) was a prominent lawyer in Cleveland, Ohio. As a board member of the Cleveland Public Library and committed bibliophile, White donated his materials to the Library beginning in 1885 and continuing until his death. His interest in chess, stemming from childhood, developed into a desire to obtain knowledge of chess origins and the societies responsible for the development. Using this as a basis of his collection, White extended his collection to include folklore and orientalia. White was critical in the development of the Cleveland Public Library's growth to a critical research library and its position as an important public library in the United States.
