The Henry H. Kinsey Collection contains documents and materials pertaining to H. H. Kinsey,

his collapsible box company and his business dealings on a personal level. The collapsible box

materials focus on the patents Kinsey acquired, and the creation of the business related to them.

His personal business dealings are in the form of receipts, correspondence—both personal and

business—bank records, and real estate dealings. The materials range from 1903-1913.

The collection is broken up into four main series: Collapsible Box Company, Financial,

Correspondence, and real estate. The Collapsible Box Company contains all the records

pertaining to the Kinsey Collapsible Box Company and its predecessor, Utah Collapsible Box

Company.

Correspondence contains both business and personal letters listed by year in each category. The

personal correspondence is mostly from H. H. Kinsey’s sister, Melissa Tusler, living in St. Paul,

Minnesota.

Financial is broken up into sub-series with banking books, documents, receipts and taxes. Each

sub-series is listed alphabetically. The receipts are listed alphabetically by business, except those

receipts written from a receipt book: they are listed as receipts of/from, and then the name of the

recipient. There are documents that have been scanned and printed because of severe damage to

the original document.

Real Estate contains his rental agreements, mortgages, real estate contracts and notes from the

department of the Interior Land Office.

At the end of the collection is a miscellaneous section that contains personal ephemera,

pamphlets and political ephemera.
