The bulk of the Kathryn Harrod Masson Research Collection consists of photostats relating to the life and activities of Kentucky pioneer James Harrod, collected for his biography from the Draper Manuscript Collection at the Wisconsin Historical Society. The collection includes photostats of correspondence, deeds, ledgers, research notes, newspaper clippings, vital statistic records, and petitions (the originals of this material date from 1776-1888). This collection also includes some of Mason's own correspondence, the 1934 Kentucky Progress Magazine's Harrodsburg edition, reproductions of maps (some produced for Mason's James Harrod biography), photographic prints (Rebecca Burges Harrod and Fort Frederick, Maryland), and photostats of Webster family genealogy (focusing on Walter Webster, born in 1841 in England, his wife, Kate (Katie) Rebecca Campbell, and their children.).
