The Proctoriana Collection, created by Otto T. Johnson, is made up of research notes and publications Johnson used in the writing of a history of Proctor, Vt. There are notes and documents Johnson used to describe the activities of early settlers and trace the ownership of key properties in town, especially the marble quarries. There are lists and descriptions of some of the first marble companies and general histories of the industry written by Johnson, Fred Patch, and J.E. Manley. Johnson collected publications of Proctor organizations. The most extensive collection is from the Vermont Marble Company and includes Vermont Marble, 1925-1927; The Memory Stone, 1927-1954; and Marble Chips, 1937-1967; and trade catalogs, and some personnel material.
