Biographical history
Andrew Thomas Drummond was born at Kingston, 1843, the son of Andrew Drummond Sr. and Margaret Pringle. He attended Queen's University where he received his B.A. in 1860 and his LLB in 1863. He was called to the bar in 1865 and practised law in Ottawa for a number of years. Increasing deafness forced him to give up his career in law and in 1868 he embarked on a financial career which involved him in various railway, land development, navigation and industrial enterprises in Ontario and western Canada. Drummond was a trustee of Queen's University and held the post of university librarian in 1863. Towards the end of his life he returned to Kingston where he died in 1923.
Custodial history
Scope and content
The fonds consists of correspondence of A.T. Drummond, 1861-1923, and of members of his family. The correspondence deals primarily with Drummond's carreer as railroad entrepreneur and his time at Queen's though there is a fair amount of material which pertains to botanical matters and interests.
