Kinney family papers, 1783-1900 1850-1900.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53824980

The collection consists of the personal papers of three generations of the Kinney Family of Newark, New Jersey. The personal and business correspondence, casebooks, legal papers, diaries, speeches, essays, poems, financial records, consular papers, miscellaneous materials, and newspapers clippings date from 1783-1900. The bulk of the collection pertains to the latter half of the nineteenth century, ca. 1850-1900. The documents of the collection cover a wide variety of subjects from domestic life and health, to charity work in Newark at the turn of the nineteenth century, to the problems and details of the publishing business in which men of the family were closely involved. As the founders, publishers and editors of the Newark Daily Advertiser for well over half a century (1835-1900), William B. Kinney and his son, Thomas T. Kinney, influenced popular opinion and followed the course of local and international historic events as journalists, civic leaders and politicians. Their papers represent the largest part of the Kinney Family collection, which includes business and editorial correspondence regarding the Newark Daily Advertiser; official diplomatic papers of William B. Kinney during his term as chargé d'affaires to the court of Sardinia in Turin, Italy; and speeches and writings of Thomas T. Kinney as a business leader in prominent organizations and as an activist in welfare reform and social policy.
