The portion of Albert Schwenger's collection housed at Queen's University Archives is divided into two manuscript series. The first series consists of documents related to the Milne and MacKay families. The papers originate with Captain William Milne who settled in Ancaster where his daughter Anna Maria married into the MacKay family in the 1820's. His correspondence comments of trade conditions, relations in the native community after the Treaty of Greenville and European wars. Of particular note is a letter of introduction for Captain Milne written in Turkish from 1799. The second series consists of unrelated historical documents primarily from the Niagara area, but includes one British document.
Fonds consists of accounts; land deeds including one referring to the McMichael property, located at the corner of Princess Street and Portsmouth Avenue, in the City of Kingston, Ontario; and Commissions appointing Albert McMichael to be a Lieutenant in the Second Regiment of Frontenac Militia in the Midland District.
Fonds consists of correspondence; reports; addresses; programmes; material relating to annual meetings of both the Royal Architectural Society of Canada and the Ontario Association of Architects; building plans and contracts; construction materials catalogues; certificates; photographs; and clippings; three opaltype prints of buildings on the campus of Queen's University at Kingston, including the Old Arts Building, Carruthers Hall, and Fleming Hall.
Fonds consists of correspondence received by A. E. Prince from his family and friends during the period of 1909 to 1946. Also included are publications by A. E. Prince, as well as other Queen's colleagues, teaching notes, household expenses, memberships, clippings and programmes for various theatrical and musical events.
