http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32413768

The collection is composed primarily of the photographs and books of the Knowlton family, though there are some papers dealing with the business of Charles A. Knowlton in the late 19th century. These documents comprise correspondence to C. A.

Knowlton served as agent for the Jacksonville, Tampa, and Key West Railroad, postmaster, and telegrapher.
