The Carleton Gibson collection consists of photocopied clippings relating to Gibson's life, beginning with his appointment as the Institute's first president, to his work during World War I, and his death in 1927. The Collection on Carleton B. Gibson contains photocopies of clippings from books and newspapers. Most of the clippings document the naming of Gibson as first president of the Mechanics Institute (now RIT) in 1910. A lesser portion concern his work with the American Commission of War Relief in Belgium and Poland during World War I, resignation from the Institute in 1916, and his death in 1927. Clippings include portraits of Gibson.
