Addison Beecher Colvin scrapbooks, 1894-1936.

Addison Beecher Colvin compiled this collection of scrapbooks of newspaper clippings to document his career as a Republican Party politician, government administrator, and banker. Most of the scrapbooks are dated 1894-1898 and report Colvin's activities while serving as New York State Treasurer, his activities relating to the Republican Party in New York State, election campaigns, his unsuccessful bid in 1898 to be named Republican Party candidate for State Comptroller, and meetings of the New York Press Association. Several articles in 1895 report Colvin's support of the Delaware and Hudson Company's application to extend a railway line through a part of the New York State Forest Preserve.
